It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and I were seated talking over the recent golf results, waiting for the next job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Rawreth Shot and filled petrol in a diesel dark blue Mercedes M-Class lease car in error. She was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. A fuel drain in Essex well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations very quickly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

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.
