It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were relaxing there commenting on the rugby rankings, ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Knebworth and put the wrong fuel in a diesel trusty BMW M6 hire car in error. She was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SG3 Postcode - Knebworth Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to assist an elder lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel raspberry red Mercedes R-Class in Knebworth. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded on a country lane en route to see her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel as I had just purchased it a week back because my old car, which I owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually stopped working". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Hertfordshire lady!

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.
