It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting there talking over the weekend's footy results, waiting for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Fyning and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver Land Rover Discovery lease car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

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.
