It was about 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting talking about the weekend's football results, at the ready for the sixth job that day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Shirley and put petrol in her diesel dark green Mercedes Sprinter 2500 hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, since it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to get to her right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Croydon well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers 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 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.
