It was before eight pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in East Rolstone and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Dodge Avenger rental by mistake. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was just a few miles from us, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel may well result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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 VA 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.
