It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were relaxing discussing the recent tennis, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Abbey Hey and put the wrong fuel in her diesel canary yellow Jaguar XJ rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and much less worried. One more misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.
Remember however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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 VA 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.
