It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Dullingham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mom's Mercedes SL65 AMG hire car. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes from the office, we were able to find her almost instantly.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business properties in Cambridgeshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Bugatti Veyron in Dullingham. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country road on route to visit her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel as I had only acquired it a few days ago because my former one, which I used for about twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Cambridgeshire woman!

I had a fantastic day cycling during my off day and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new family who were on vacation in Dullingham. They'd pulled over after putting petrol into their father's Volvo, and the car was about half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs quite frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I waved good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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.
