It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the next call to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Spoonleygate and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel new Ford Transit lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WV6 Postcode - Spoonleygate Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to help an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel cream Vauxhall Vivaro in Spoonleygate. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a country lane along the way to see her family. I punched the location into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was working she said, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel as I'd only acquired it a couple of days back right after my other one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Shropshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Spoonleygate - Wrong Fuel in Car Spoonleygate

I enjoyed a great day hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new family who were holidaying in Spoonleygate. They'd broken down after filling petrol in their teal Peugeot 405, and they were about an hour away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this takes place all the time in Shropshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, however he yet still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and thought about what my wife would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!

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.
