It was just after 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Golden Valley and filled petrol in her diesel mint green Toyota MR2 rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to find the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Golden Valley (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a complete Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill your car if you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at pump price) to fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the normal troubles that could come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to take care of in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a country lane on the way to see her family. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I had only purchased it a few days ago because my old car, which I'd owned for about twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost".

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.
