It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there commenting on the recent golf, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Seatown and put petrol in a diesel husband's Mercedes CL-Class rental. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Another job in Dorset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel Assist Seatown - Wrong Fuel in Car Seatown

I'd had a perfect evening golfing on my holiday and felt satisfied the following day as I set out to help a new family who were vacationing in Seatown. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their green BMW 3 Series, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I listened to the wife chastising her partner for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem takes place on daily basis in Dorset and that it is nothing at all to get worried about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor chap. Anyhow, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I waved farewell and considered what her indoors would tell me if I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!

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 VA 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.
