It was around 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting there going over the golf results, waiting around for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Bransford and put petrol in a diesel metallic yellow Porsche Boxster hire car. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another job in Worcestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

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.
