It was about ten pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and I were seated there talking over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Winson and put the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Audi A6 rental car by mistake. She was very affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. A misfuel correction in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we can access the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL7 Postcode - Winson Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and I was on the way to help an older woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel father's BMW 645 in Winson. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a rural lane en route to see her family. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I had only acquired it a week ago because my old car, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Gloucestershire lady!

We care for your motor vehicle with our complete licencing and insurance coverage. Because of around one hundred and fifty years of joint wrong fuel drainage experience we know just how to get the task finished - no problem.

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.
