It was just before 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in North Poulner and filled petrol in her diesel grass green Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class rental by mistake. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was just a few miles from the office, we could get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A 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 definitely a significant matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks 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.
