It was just after five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were resting there talking about the recent footy, waiting around for the sixth job for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in North Town and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel friend's Citron C4 hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty distressed apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and less stressed. Another job in Somerset well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very simply.
Bear in mind that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it.

We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.
