It was close to six pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting going over the sports results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Cockpole Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel clean white Ford rental car by mistake. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

What a good night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Sunday and I was on my way to help an old lady who put petrol in her diesel bright yellow Ford Taurus in Cockpole Green. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural road on the way to see her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I had just purchased it several days back when my previous one, which I'd had for over thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a lovely Berkshire woman!

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.

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.
