Ok, we are the specialists suitable for you!

It was after 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were resting there talking about the recent footy results, at the ready for the next call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Hett and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Audi S5 hire car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and not so worried. One more job in County Durham done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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 VA 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.
