It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the 6th job to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Stanley Green and filled petrol in a diesel matte black BMW M6 rental car. The poor thing was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations quite expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Tuesday and I was en route to help an elder woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Volvo S60 in Stanley Green. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location into the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only got it a couple of days back when my previous car, which I'd had for about twenty years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Greater Manchester woman!

I had a perfect afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a new family who were on vacation in Stanley Green. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their expensive Jaguar S-Type, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem comes to pass regularly in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing at all to stress about, however he yet still got an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I waved goodbye and wondered what my missus would ask me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd personally never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Stanley Green

I am not ever too hot for doing the job weekends, and the other day was no different. I had just left the family following a fantastic lunch made by the better half, and I was on the way to assist a man because he put the incorrect petrol in his bright yellow Honda CR-X. He was somewhere in Stanley Green so I arrived with him before long. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any kind of damage simply by starting it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I would remove the wrong fuel quickly. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and thus one more contented motorist was able to continue his trip without any fuss. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that can make operating on weekends in Greater Manchester just a little bit easier for me personally!

A customer from Stanley Green with a full car of children in her diesel gorgeous Mercedes SL65 AMG had put £40 of petrol at the Tesco service station.

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 VA 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.
