It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting going over the football rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Fernhurst and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Vauxhall Signum lease car by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we could reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another job in West Sussex done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was around. It was quite quiet until now, and Ray and I were loafing about looking through a couple of old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet moment in West Sussex. Actually it was that relaxing that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer explained: "I've just ended my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in the navy blue Audi V8 in error". We got him to let us know exactly where he was located and we headed out, arriving in Fernhurst not as much as 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said thank you for coming so fast. As we were going back to the office we noticed two women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out 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:

  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.
