It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and me were relaxing there commenting on the sports, ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Old Wolverton and put petrol in a diesel clean white Mitsubishi 3000GT rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. Another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Sunday and I was en route to help an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel apple green Peugeot Expert in Old Wolverton. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane en route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was working she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only just acquired it several days back because my former one, which I used for more than 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Buckinghamshire woman!

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.
