It was close to eight pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking about the rugby rankings, ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Cousley Wood and put petrol in a diesel canary yellow Renault Clio rental. She was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet 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:

    • 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.
