It was close to seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were relaxing talking about the tennis, prepared for the 6th job of the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Thorpe Acre and put petrol in a diesel new Renault Clio rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, also that these things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we could get to her swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a car parking bay we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout 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.
