It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Bryans Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's VW Eurovan rental. The unfortunate thing was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations quite quickly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.

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.
