It was about six pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's golf, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Radnage and put petrol in her diesel partner's Isuzu i-370 lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire done well in my books!

Petrol in your diesel car in Radnage? You've come to the right place. We are here to assist you in this hour of need and get you moving again with our professional fuel drain service.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
