It was just after 7 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Dunkirk and filled petrol in her diesel dirty red Peugeot 508 lease car. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive away contented and less anxious. A fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will 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.
