It was around eight pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the next call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Foscote and put petrol in a diesel pristine Daihatsu Charade rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. A job in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and useless.
