It was before ten pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf, at the ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Four Forks and put the wrong fuel in her diesel compact Fiat Scudo rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Somerset done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases pretty easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

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.

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.
