It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated talking over the golf, ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Atterbury and filled petrol in a diesel dark green Alfa Romeo164 rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very distressed it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected area and, as it was only a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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.
