It was just before 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were seated going over the footy rankings, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Littleton Panell and put petrol in her diesel racing green Nissan Murano rental car in error. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe position and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and much less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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.
