It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting there commenting on the recent football, ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Harnhill and put petrol in her diesel black Vauxhall Vivaro rental car. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
