It was just after six pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and me were seated there commenting on the golf results, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Worlingham and put petrol in a diesel husband's Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was just a few miles from the office, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and not so worried.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few 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.
