It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the recent golf rankings, ready for the next job that day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Hope Mansell and filled petrol in a diesel aunt's BMW 745 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from our van, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. Another job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We were contacted by a man whose dirty red VW Golf had ground to a halt on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps mixed up and put petrol instead of diesel in my car in error. These guys came out and resolved the problem after my car stopped." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system completely and the motorist could then continue with his scheduled delivery.

A young lady driving in Hope Mansell contacted us shortly after she managed to get her misfueled car to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Range Rover and, like countless before her, assumed that she would be able to simply fill up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be no problem. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted inside 60 minutes whilst she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you fixed my car."

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.
