It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Holmwood Corner and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Toyota Solara rental in error. She was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
