It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting there talking over the recent footy results, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Nox and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey BMW Z8 hire car. She was very agitated apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home satisfied and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY5 Postcode - Nox Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and we were off to help an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel creamy white BMW 760 in Nox. I had been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater road en route to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it a short while ago because my old one, which I'd had for over thirty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Shropshire lady!

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.
