It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated commenting on the football, waiting for the 6th job to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Leaves Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Bugatti Veyron rental car. The poor thing was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Bromley done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BR2 Postcode - Leaves Green Misfueling

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was en route to help an old lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Jaguar XK Series in Leaves Green. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a country lane along the way to see her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a few days ago because my former car, which I had had for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Bromley lady!

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
