It was just before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were resting there going over the golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh call that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso filling station in Scotswood and put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Jaguar X-Type rental by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and less stressed. One more job in Berkshire well done in my books!

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel may result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.

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.
