It was just before five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the recent sports results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Marchwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel maroon Jeep Comanche rental in error. The poor thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected space and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases quite easily.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks 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.
