It was about 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated talking about the recent sports results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Hallow Heath and filled petrol in a diesel mustard yellow Ford Focus rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we could reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Worcestershire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, providing we can reach it, we are able to drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite easily.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably 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.
