It was about seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the tennis, waiting for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Burcott and put the wrong fuel in a diesel green Daihatsu Rocky rental car. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She was able to move the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could find the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances quite easily.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
