It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting going over the football, waiting around for the seventh call that day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Papworth St Agnes and filled petrol in her diesel daughter's Honda Prelude rental. She was rather troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. Another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB23 Postcode - Papworth St Agnes Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and we were en route to assist an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel teal Land Rover Defender 110 in Papworth St Agnes. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel because I'd just acquired it a few days back after my former one, which I'd used for about 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Cambridgeshire lady!

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.
