It was just before 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated there talking about the footy results, waiting around for the seventh call to come in. In due time we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in West Sleekburn and filled petrol in a diesel teal VW Touareg lease car in error. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases fairly easily.
Take note that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.
Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near to parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car West Sleekburn
I am not overly excited about doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids after having a superb lunch prepared for me by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a man who put the wrong fuel in his cobalt blue BMW M Roadster. He was situated in West Sleekburn and so I was there rapidly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and did not ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any kind of damage simply by driving it?" I said there should not be damage and that I'd get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus one more satisfied customer could carry on with his ride without bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make working on Sundays in Northumberland just that small bit easier for me!

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were sitting reading through some old magazines. It was an unusual tranquil moment in Northumberland. It was in fact that calm that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The customer said: "I have only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in my white Dodge Sprinter by mistake". We got him to tell us where exactly the car was and we left, getting to him in West Sleekburn under an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the motor and he said many thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back home we noticed two women on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
