It was just after eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting discussing the recent football rankings, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Denmead and put petrol in her diesel dark green Mitsubishi Pajero rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and not so stressed. Yet another job in Hampshire well done in my books!

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
