It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Misselfore and put petrol in a diesel daughter's Vauxhall Bedford rental car in error. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
