The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BS34 Postcode - Little Stoke Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel grass green Range Rover in Little Stoke. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I got to the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I had just acquired it a few days back after my old car, which I had owned for about twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant Gloucestershire woman!

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.
