It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there talking over the recent tennis, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Uppertown and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan Kia Sephia rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away contented and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Northumberland done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel may produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly expediently.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Wednesday and we were off to help an older lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Land Rover Defender in Uppertown. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd just acquired it several days ago after my other car, which I'd owned for more than twenty five years, eventually died on me". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Northumberland woman!

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.
