It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the next call to come in. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Semington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel khaki green Skoda hire car by mistake. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

They'd broken down after filling petrol into their dark red BMW 6 Series, and they were about half an hour away.

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.
