It was after eight pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting talking over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in High Mickley and filled petrol in a diesel modern Volkswagen Golf lease car. The poor lady was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. Yet another job in Northumberland well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist High Mickley - Wrong Fuel in Car High Mickley

I had enjoyed a great day golfing during my afternoon off and felt satisfied the next morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were vacationing in High Mickley. They broken down after inserting petrol into their sunflower yellow Subaru Outback Sport, and were close to an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs quite frequently in Northumberland and that it's nothing to worry about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor boy. At any rate, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

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.
