It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there talking over the football rankings, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Chiddingfold and put petrol in a diesel spotless Peugeot 207 lease car. The poor lady was pretty affected it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the car to a safe position and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my books!

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.
