It was just before 9 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were resting discussing the weekend's football rankings, at the ready for the next job to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Knowl Hill and filled petrol in her diesel friend's Volvo XC90 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Berkshire well done in my books!

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RG10 Postcode - Knowl Hill Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Monday and I was off to help an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel dirty red Jaguar XF in Knowl Hill. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a country lane on the way to visit her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she told me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only purchased it a couple of days back because my other one, which I had had for over twenty five years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Berkshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Knowl Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Knowl Hill

I appreciated a perfect afternoon hiking on my holiday and was feeling pleased the following working day as I headed out to assist a young family away in Knowl Hill. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their beautiful Hyundai HED-5, and they were about an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl chastising her man for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this occurs frequently in Berkshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still had an earful. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if I made the same error... I'd under no circumstances live it down!

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.
