Ok, we are the company for your requirements!

It was just before six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated commenting on the recent football rankings, prepared for the 8th call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Little Sandhurst and put petrol in a diesel husband's Saab 9-4X hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. A job in Berkshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU47 Postcode - Little Sandhurst Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to help an old lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel new Citron DS3 in Little Sandhurst. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a country lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had only just acquired it a short while ago because my previous one, which I used for more than thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious Berkshire lady!

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.
