It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting talking about the recent football results, at the ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Mount Pleasant and put the wrong fuel in a diesel husband's Audi Allroad hire car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances rather simply.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
