It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing talking over the recent footy results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Coln St Aldwyns and put the wrong fuel in a diesel brother's Mercedes-Benz E-Class hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

This was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were sitting looking at several old magazines. It was a rare quiet time in Gloucestershire. It was so peaceful that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me start! The voice said: "I have completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a Ferarri red Nissan Cube". We asked him to inform us where the car was and we headed out, getting to him in Coln St Aldwyns under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. As we were going back to the depot we found two young women at the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
