A man stopped on a road in Melksham Forest required a fuel drain around a month ago. His friend's Mercedes SL-Class was stopped roadside after he had misfueled. He was relaxed when he phoned us but slightly worried to get his car off the road seeing that he was causing considerable traffic. We got to him within a quarter-hour as our drainer was in in close proximity of Melksham Forest and had just done a fuel drain. He said, "I don't believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and got stuck here! My car was chugging I basically had to stop and then it just conked."

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SN12 Postcode - Melksham Forest Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to assist an elder sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel sunflower yellow Hyundai in Melksham Forest. I had been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down on a backwater road on route to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I had only acquired it several days ago when my previous one, which I'd used for in excess of 25 years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Wiltshire lady!

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.
