It was about six pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the next job for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Thurmaston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel expensive Toyota Prius hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite affected apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Another fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my books!

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations very quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
