It was around six pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were seated going over the sports results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Ravensthorpe and filled petrol in her diesel aunt's VW Jetta rental car by mistake. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. Another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
