It was around 5 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were resting there going over the recent football results, waiting for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Plastow Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Vauxhall Insignia rental car in error. She was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things sadly do happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. One more fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel.

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.
