It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were sitting discussing the recent golf results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Finally we had a call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Ipsden and put petrol in her diesel son's Mercedes-Benz CL-Class lease car. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this happen. She managed to get the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we can access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in OX10 Postcode - Ipsden Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel green Hyundai HED-5 in Ipsden. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up on a backwater road on the way to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only got it a short while back after my old one, which I had for about 30 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the job and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a pleasant Oxfordshire woman!

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30am and almost noone was around. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and me and Ryan were relaxing perusing a number of old newspapers. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Oxfordshire. It was indeed so tranquil that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer on the phone said: "I just finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red BMW M Roadster". I told him to tell us just where the vehicle was located and we set off, getting to him in Ipsden under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor. He said thanks a lot for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back home we noticed two girls on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped to change it, 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:

  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.
