It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking over the rugby rankings, prepared for the next job to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Blacklands and put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Porsche Cayenne lease car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in East Sussex well done in my books!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases rather easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
