It was close to ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the seventh call to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Wicklewood and filled petrol in a diesel mint condition BMW 550 rental car. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles away from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and much less worried. A fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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.
