It was around 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking over the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Watermill and put petrol in her diesel brother's Mitsubishi 3000GT lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find her quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less worried. One more fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue BMW 550 in Watermill. I had been told she had left the petrol station and broken down in a backwater lane on route to visit her godchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had just got it a week ago after my previous car, which I had had for over 30 years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a precious East Sussex woman!

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.
