It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated going over the recent sports results, waiting for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Little Catwick and put the wrong fuel in a diesel faithful Lexus LS rental. The poor lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in East Riding of Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases quite expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and we were off to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel company's Bentley Continental in Little Catwick. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only got it several days ago after my other car, which I used for in excess of twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a precious East Riding of Yorkshire lady!

I'd had a fantastic day golfing during my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a young couple who were holidaying in Little Catwick. They'd broken down after inserting diesel in their modified Volvo V50, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this goes on quite frequently in East Riding of Yorkshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
