It was after six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Smallbrook and put petrol in a diesel husband's Seat Leon lease car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains

We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
