It was around 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated talking about the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the next call for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Burnham Overy Town and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot Land Rover Defender hire car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to get the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from us, we were able to find her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less worried. One more job in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
