It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis, waiting for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Church Warsop and put petrol in her diesel company's Seat Mii hire car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying in the rear of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of domestic and business premises in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

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.
