It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting commenting on the recent football results, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Cleeve Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel brother's Suzuki Verona rental car in error. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from our van, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances very simply.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Cleeve Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Cleeve Hill

I enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on my off day and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I headed out to help a young family holidaying in Cleeve Hill. They had stopped after inserting petrol in their cyan Lexus LS, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this occurs continuously in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his better half. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved so long and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would personally 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.
