It was about 10 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were resting discussing the rugby results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Royal Leamington Spa and put the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Mercedes Sprinter 3500 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.
Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be totally 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
