It was around eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in New Mills and put petrol in her diesel modified Audi riolet hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from the office, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

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.
