It was around six pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were seated commenting on the footy rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Hurst and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mom's Volkswagen Tiguan rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite affected apparently, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Another fuel drain in Berkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and I was en route to help an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Volkswagen Passat in Hurst. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just acquired it a week back when my other one, which I had for about 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. Such a precious Berkshire lady!

A customer from Hurst with a full car of children in her diesel sky blue Mitsubishi Expo had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that everything should be okay and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the little ones in the back."

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.
