It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Tow Law and filled petrol in her diesel new-shape Fiat Punto hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

• 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 VA receipt.
