It was around 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were seated discussing the sports results, waiting around for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Hythe End and filled petrol in a diesel light blue Fiat lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure area and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Berkshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases very simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and I was on the way to help an older lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel mom's Cadillac Allante in Hythe End. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only just bought it a short while back because my other one, which I used for in excess of thirty years, inevitably died". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Berkshire lady!

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.
