It was around five pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Skeeby and filled petrol in her diesel son's Land Rover Defender 90 hire car. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was just a short distance from the office, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.
Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
Marine Fuel Drains
If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Skeeby
Now I am not actually excessively keen on working weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a lovely dinner prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a gentleman who had filled the incorrect petrol in his beloved Toyota Corolla. He was only in Skeeby and so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my attention on other things and didn't realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused some damage as a result of starting it?" I said there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another satisfied motorist was able to continue on his ride without fuss. The guy did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in North Yorkshire that little bit less painful for me personally!

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.
