It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were resting talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Hodsock and filled petrol in a diesel bright red Chevrolet Silverado rental. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected spot and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Another job in Nottinghamshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
