It was close to 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and me were seated talking over the tennis results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Doxey and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Daihatsu Rocky lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
