It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were seated going over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Shifnal and put petrol in a diesel work's Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG hire car in error. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we could get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult 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 are able to take care of both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near to a motor vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
