It was before eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were resting there discussing the tennis, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Butterton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Isuzu i-370 hire car. The poor thing was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles from the office, we could find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

What a quality night's sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to help an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel gorgeous Suzuki Vitara in Butterton. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a rural road on route to see her family. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I had just purchased it several days ago when my old car, which I used for in excess of thirty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Staffordshire woman!

This was an unsociable time to be up. It was about 3am and noone was around. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Paul were loafing looking through several old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet hour in Staffordshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the phone said: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a winter grey Nissan Pathfinder in error". We got him to inform us where the vehicle was and we hit the road, ending up in Butterton only an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor and he said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly.

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.
