It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and me were sitting there talking about the sports, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Gargrave and put the wrong fuel in a diesel old Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to move the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
