It was after seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the recent golf results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Avon and filled petrol in her diesel sunflower yellow Audi rental by mistake. She was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and not so anxious. Another job in Hampshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases very simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few 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:

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.
