It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting talking about the golf results, ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Thearne and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel white Volkswagen Touareg 2 rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a secure position and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
