It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Mark and me were relaxing commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Epping Green and put petrol in a diesel metallic green BMW Z8 rental. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, as it was only a few miles off from the office, we could get to the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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.
