It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Long Buckby and put petrol in a diesel metallic red BMW Z4 hire car. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Northamptonshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout 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 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.
