It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Borley Green and filled petrol in her diesel cream Cadillac DeVille rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.
