It was about ten pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's golf, prepared for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Cuxham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dirty red Peugeot 505 lease car. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things can happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty quickly.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be completely wet 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.
