It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Old Field and put petrol in a diesel red Vauxhall Corsa rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Now I am not that excited about running weekends, and a while back was the same.

He was situated in Old Field so I was with him very quickly. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on something else and didn't grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on harm because of driving 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 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.
