It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and me were resting there commenting on the weekend's football, ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Sefton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel khaki green Volkswagen rental car in error. She was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things do happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and not so worried. A job in Merseyside done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in L29 Postcode - Sefton Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an old sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Volkswagen Eurovan in Sefton. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I had only just purchased it a short while ago when my previous car, which I had had for over twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Merseyside lady!

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.
