It was just after six pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Nidd and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition Renault Twingo rental car in error. The poor lady was quite affected apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure spot and, since it was only a short distance from us, we could reach her almost instantly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have performed many 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.
