It was about 8 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were resting there discussing the recent tennis, at the ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Dunkirk and put petrol in a diesel dad's BMW Alpina B7 rental car in error. The poor thing was rather affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, since it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got really wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty simply.
Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to an automobile parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.
Wrong Fuel in Car in NR11 Postcode - Dunkirk Misfueling
A motorist had come to a halt on a street, Dunkirk having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was weeping and fairly distressed as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to relax her as well as we could, assuring her that it would be alright. By the time we reached her she was no longer distressed and was very curious in watching our fuel drainer perform the fuel drain on her partner's Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. Afterwards she said: "My car is like my child, I only just bought it and so it especially freaked me out that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm happy that it was so very easily fixable."

We assured her that everything would be ok and that she would be up and running soon. When we got there she was still upset but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
