It was before seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were sitting discussing the tennis results, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Wootton Rivers and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel grey Mercedes-Benz M-Class lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and less stressed. A fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite expediently.
Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many 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:
- 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.
