It was just before 6 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting commenting on the weekend's football, prepared for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Longridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Audi RS 4 rental car. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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.
