It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy results, prepared for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Nash Lee and filled petrol in her diesel father's Vauxhall Insignia rental. The unfortunate thing was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations very simply.
Remember though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
