It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's tennis, prepared for the seventh job to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Wingrave and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Lexus lease car in error. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find the customer rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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.

• 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.
