It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there commenting on the football rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Bramcote and filled petrol in her diesel modern Subaru Outback Sport hire car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home calm and much less concerned. Another job in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances very simply.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be completely water-logged 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.
