It was around seven pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there talking over the recent football, waiting for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Shoreham Beach and filled petrol in her diesel spotless Isuzu Impulse lease car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and less worried. A fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

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.
