It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there discussing the rugby, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Goodmayes and put petrol in a diesel compact Fiat Punto rental car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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 VA 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.
