It was before five pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Haversham and filled petrol in her diesel modern Dodge Challenger rental. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations very expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

A woman had conked out on a road, Haversham having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was crying and very agitated as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we tried to calm her as well as we could, assuring her that all would be okay. By the time we arrived with her she was no longer troubled and was rather curious in observing our fuel drainer carry out the fuel drain on her elegant Range Rover.

I'm terribly gratified that it was easily repairable."

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.
