It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting talking about the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in West Stour and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel winter grey Daewoo Lanos rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find her right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very expediently.
Remember though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car West Stour
We completed a wrong fuel removal job outside a lovely property in West Stour a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and was able to more or less arrive at home when my car broke down." Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was rather late at night, and did a fuel drain and purge on the cobalt blue Toyota Yaris to everyone's satisfaction.

This was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and nobody was around. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and Paul and I were loafing about reading through some old papers. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Dorset. Actually it was so relaxing that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end said: "I only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my green Toyota RAV4 by mistake". I got him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in West Stour 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thank you for coming out so promptly. While we were going back to the office we saw two young ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a flat. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, much to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
