It was close to seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there going over the recent rugby results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Brockbridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Toyota MR2 lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things can happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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.
