It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were seated there talking over the football, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Rendham and filled petrol in a diesel bright yellow Peugeot 2008 hire car. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was close to 3am and almost noone was around. It was rather quiet so far, and me and Mark were loafing looking at a couple of old papers. It was an unusual calm time in Suffolk. It was in fact so calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end stated: "I have just completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the rust red Jeep Commander". I asked him to inform us just where he was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Rendham under 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. While we were going back home we spotted two girls on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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 VA 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.
