It was before 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the recent sports rankings, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Coopers Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Cadillac XLR lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure area and, as it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and less anxious. One more job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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 VA 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.
