It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing going over the recent football rankings, prepared for the seventh job of the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Irchester and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Volvo XC60 rental. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather simply.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across 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.
