It was about six pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated discussing the weekend's golf, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Tidnor and filled petrol in a diesel boss' Chevrolet Caprice lease car in error. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and less apprehensive. A job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

Marine Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases pretty simply.
Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Tidnor
I am not necessarily too interested in running on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd just left the family after a magnificent roast made for us by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow who put the incorrect fuel in his apricot Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. He was stationed in Tidnor hence it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any harm because of running it?" I explained truth be told there shouldn't be any problems and that I'd personally remove the wrong fuel as soon as possible for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and so one more content motorist had the ability to continue their trip without any subsequent difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes working on weekends in Herefordshire a tiny bit better for me personally!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
