It was after eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby, at the ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Shoulton and filled petrol in her diesel burgundy red Isuzu i-350 rental car by mistake. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the lady without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off calm and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

Boat Fuel Drains
If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.
Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
