It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting talking about the recent football results, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Upton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beloved Mitsubishi 3000GT hire car. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A job in Berkshire done well in my mind!

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
