It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and I were seated discussing the recent golf results, prepared for the sixth call to come in. In due time we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Churchill and put petrol in her diesel customised BMW X5 M hire car. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could find the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and a lot less worried. A job in Oxfordshire done well in my mind!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite easily.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

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.
