It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the recent rugby, waiting around for the sixth call to arrive. Before long we received a call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Chapel Cross and put the wrong fuel in her diesel compact Volvo V50 rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was only a short distance from the office, we could reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and not so concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

A customer from Chapel Cross with her little ones in her diesel modern Volkswagen Eurovan had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She contacted us crying and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her car . We told her that all should be fine and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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.
