Petrol in your diesel car in Upper Stoke? You've arrived at the right people. We aim to assist you in this situation and get you running once more with our professional fuel drain services.
It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated talking over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Upper Stoke and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel super Cadillac DeVille rental in error. The poor thing was rather affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to reach her right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and much less worried. A fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations rather simply.
Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.
Wrong Fuel in Car in NR14 Postcode - Upper Stoke Misfueling
Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Saturday and I was on the way to assist an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel navy blue Volkswagen Eurovan in Upper Stoke. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and stranded on a country road on the way to visit her family. I punched her location in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it several days ago when my old one, which I had for in excess of twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. What a precious Norfolk woman!

A customer from Upper Stoke with a full car of youngsters in her diesel expensive Renault Modus had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the BP station. She contacted us crying and very distraught as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be on the road soon. When we got there she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."

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.
