It was around six pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were sitting going over the recent tennis results, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Furzedown and filled petrol in a diesel boss' Ford Transit Connect rental car. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and not so worried. A fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances very easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
