It was just before eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we got a call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Norbury Junction and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel black Honda Civic GX hire car. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes from our van, we could reach the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and less worried. One more misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Now I am not so excited about carrying out work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a tasty Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his metallic silver BMW Z4. He was stationed in Norbury Junction so I arrived on scene almost immediately. As I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of harm as a result of running it?" I said that truth be told there shouldn't be any problems and also I would get the fuel drained quickly. Obviously I drained the wrong fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and yet another happy customer was able to continue their trip with no bother. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that is what can make earning a living on weekends in Staffordshire that little bit less painful for me!

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It was pretty uneventful until now, and me and John were loafing about perusing a number of old papers. This was an uncommon restful time in Staffordshire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in a blue Range Rover Evoque by mistake". I instructed him to let us know where exactly he was and we set off, getting to him in Norbury Junction less than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. As we were coming back home we saw two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.
