It was before six pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there discussing the sports results, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Leckhampstead Thicket and put the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Kia Rio rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and a lot less worried. Another misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases fairly quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers 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.
