It was before ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting commenting on the recent tennis, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Chidden and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Mazda MX-6 lease car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could get to her without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and not so worried. A job in Hampshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances rather expediently.
Remember though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

A customer had come to a stop on a street, Chidden having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was in tears and quite agitated as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. As she contacted us we made an effort to relax her as well as we could, telling her that everything would be ok.

Later she said: "My vehicle is like my child, I only just got it and so it truly worried me that I had put such a large amount of wrong fuel in it. I'm really pleased that it was so easily repairable."

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 VAT 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.
