In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Horsham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Mazda323 rental car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir placed in the back of your premises full of out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Worcestershire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, if we can get to it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Now I'm not necessarily too inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd just left the family filled with a lovely dinner made by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a man because he filled the incorrect fuel in his daughter's Cadillac SRX. He was only in Horsham therefore it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and didn't ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about some harm simply by driving it?" I stated truth be told there should not be any damage and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another satisfied motorist was able to continue his trip without fuss. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that can make earning a living on Sundays in Worcestershire just a small bit better for me!

This was exactly an unsociable time to be up. It was around 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty dead until now, and me and John were relaxing looking through a few old newspapers. That was an uncommon calm moment in Worcestershire. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the instant the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end explained: "I have concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel rust red Volvo S60 in error". We told him to inform us just where the vehicle was and we left, arriving in Horsham not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said thank you for arriving so quickly. While we were returning to the depot we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much 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.
