It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting discussing the golf rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Chapeltown and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel burgundy red VW Eos hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas 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.
