It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th call to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Water End and filled petrol in a diesel Ferarri red Mercedes CLK-Class lease car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. One more fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We told her that all should be ok and that she would be in action soon. When we got there she was still distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
