It was before six pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the sports results, at the ready for the next call that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Guide Post and filled petrol in her diesel green Saab 9-2X rental by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

A woman working in Guide Post called us after she tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel sky blue Cadillac Catera and, like many people before her, thought that she would be able to basically top up the car with diesel and it would run fine. The car was coughing and then it died when she came to the the front of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed in one hour whilst she was working. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm very happy you repaired my car."

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.
