It was before eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting talking over the recent football results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Stow-on-the-Wold and filled petrol in a diesel metallic yellow Dodge Sprinter rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to get to her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely 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.
