It was close to ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there discussing the rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Harpham and put petrol in her diesel old Renault Laguna lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was quite agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and less stressed. One more fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Harpham

I'm not actually that excited about doing work weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just left the family after a superb Sunday roast cooked by the missus, and I was off to deal with a guy who had put the wrong fuel in his dirty red Volkswagen Eos. He was stationed in Harpham therefore I was with him quickly. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my concentration on other things and failed to perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any kind of harm through starting it?" I explained generally there probably should not be any problems and that also I would drain the wrong fuel at once. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and thus yet another delighted motorist had the ability to continue their journey without any hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what can make operating on Sundays in East Riding of Yorkshire just that small bit easier for me personally!

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.
