It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were seated there talking about the tennis rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Hornblotton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Audi 4000CS Quattro rental car by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

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.
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.
