It was after 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the recent golf results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Griggs Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel new Mitsubishi Expo lease car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from us, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations very easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged 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.
