It was around 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the rugby results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Sunset and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic green Mitsubishi Montero rental by mistake. The poor lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally wet and useless.

We fairly recently got a phone call about a driver who put the wrong fuel in his dad's Peugeot in Sunset. He had conked out on the road. "It was incredible how rapid you people were in having a technician out to aid me after I mistakenly put the wrong fuel in my. Thank you ever so much". Obviously we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after draining all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about dawn and nobody was about. It had become rather quiet up to now, and me and John were loafing around looking at several old newspapers. This was a rare quiet time in Herefordshire. Actually it was indeed that quiet that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I've concluded my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in the precious Chevrolet Silverado in error". I asked him to tell us where exactly he was and we left, reaching him in Sunset half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. While we were coming back home we saw two young women on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
