It was after eight pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting talking over the recent football, ready for the seventh call to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Carlton and put petrol in her diesel boss' Audi Quattro lease car by mistake. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
