It was after eight pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were relaxing talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Ashby St Ledgers and put the wrong fuel in her diesel modified Cadillac CTS rental car by mistake. The poor thing was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in.

Boat Fuel Drains

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.
