It was just before 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were relaxing talking about the recent footy results, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Tamworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel new-shape Volkswagen Jetta III lease car. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

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.
