A guy conked out on a street in Harby required a fuel drain around a month back. His deep grey Renault Clio was stopped on the side of the road after he had put in the wrong fuel.

We got to him in fifteen minutes as our technician was in nearby Harby and had finished his previous job. He said, "I don't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and got stuck here!

Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases very easily.
Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

I appreciated a great day hiking on my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the following day as I set off to aid a young family holidaying in Harby. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their aunt's Peugeot 405, and were around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I listened to the lady telling off her partner for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the lad. In any case, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While they drove off I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Harby
Now I'm certainly not so excited about carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just left the wife and kids after having a superb dinner prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his cyan Fiat Panda. He was only in Harby thus I arrived on scene very quickly. As I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created any problems by simply starting it?" I said there should not be any problems and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and another satisfied motorist had the ability to continue on their traveling with no difficulty. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make earning a living on weekends in Nottinghamshire a tiny bit less painful for me!

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and nobody was around. It was quite uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing about reading through a few old papers. This was an uncommon tranquil time in Nottinghamshire. Actually it was that tranquil that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I've finished my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in the diesel rugged Seat by mistake". I got him to inform us just where he was and we left, arriving in Harby only 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. While we were going back home we found two ladies at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
