It was after 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy, ready for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Lindfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Mercedes M-Class rental car. The poor lady was rather affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe area and, because it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will cause idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
