It was just after 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Tedsmore and filled petrol in her diesel boss' Jaguar X-Type rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could reach the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

A customer had broken down on a street, Tedsmore having just misfueled. She was sobbing and really troubled as she had put £45 of petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we tried to cool her as best we could, reassuring her that everything would be no problem. When we arrived with her she was no longer troubled and was rather fascinated in watching our technician perform the fuel drain on her friend's Mitsubishi Eclipse. Later she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I recently paid for it and it genuinely horrified me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm very glad that it was so easily fixable."

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.
