It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's golf results, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Shellwood Cross and filled petrol in her diesel racing green Mazda626 lease car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and less worried. Another fuel drain in Surrey well done in my opinion!

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RH2 Postcode - Shellwood Cross Misfueling

A woman had conked out on a street, Shellwood Cross having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was sobbing and quite distressed as she had put £45 petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we attempted to relax her as well as we could, telling her that all would be ok. When we arrived with her she was no longer aggrieved and was very fascinated in watching our fuel drainer do the fuel drain on her bright red Jeep Wrangler. Later she said: "My vehicle is like my baby, I only just bought it and thus it really worried me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly gratified that it was very easily repairable."

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.
