It was before 7 pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting for the next job of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Tatenhill Common and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright red Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class rental car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach her right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DE13 Postcode - Tatenhill Common Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Wednesday and I was off to assist an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel apple green Subaru Outback Sport in Tatenhill Common. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural lane on route to visit her family. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd just acquired it several days ago when my former car, which I'd owned for over twenty years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Staffordshire woman!

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.
