It was about 10 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were resting there talking about the weekend's golf, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Cobbs Cross and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Nissan Armada rental. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances quite quickly.
Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

A lady from Cobbs Cross with her little ones in her diesel sky blue BMW Z4 M Roadster had put £50 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything should be alright and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the little ones on board."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
