It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the footy, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Swaffham Prior and filled petrol in a diesel modern Mercedes Sprinter lease car. The poor lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet 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.
