It was around 9 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the golf, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Batford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Cadillac Escalade EXT rental by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home contented and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Hertfordshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel racing green Vauxhall Monaro in Batford. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up in a country road on route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel because I had just got it a couple of days back when my former car, which I had used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually broke down". I got the drain completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Hertfordshire woman!

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.
