It was before eight pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there discussing the recent tennis results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Waterlooville and put petrol in her diesel modified BMW 5 Series lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases quite easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the back of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and industrial premises in Hampshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in an outbuilding, providing we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

A motorist working in Waterlooville called us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel super Dodge Colt and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could basically fill up the tank with diesel and it would be no problem. The car was spluttering and then it died when she came to the entrance of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired within an hour or so while she was working. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you sorted my vehicle."

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.
