It was close to five pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis results, ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Yarwell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Peugeot 2008 hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

This was certainly the night shift. It was around 2:30am and almost noone was around. It had become rather dead so far, and me and Ryan were sitting looking through several old newspapers. It was an unusual calm hour in Northamptonshire. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I've just finished my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel sunflower yellow Peugeot 505". I got him to let us know where exactly he was and we headed out, reaching him in Yarwell not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he said thanks for coming so promptly. As we were heading back home we found two ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up to change it, 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:

    • 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.
