It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the footy rankings, ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Burnden and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel compact Audi A8 lease car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things happen. She managed to get the car into a protected area and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and less anxious. A job in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous 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 VA 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.
