In due time we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in East Bridgford and filled petrol in a diesel sky blue Honda CR-X rental car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Nottinghamshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist East Bridgford - Wrong Fuel in Car East Bridgford

I had a fantastic evening golfing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I was on the way to assist a new family vacationing in East Bridgford. They stopped after adding diesel into their friend's Chevrolet Suburban, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her man off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem happens on a regular basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's actually nothing to fret about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted so long and pondered on what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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.
