It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby results, ready for the 8th job to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Stockton Heath and put petrol in her diesel grey Renault Kangoo hire car. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could find the woman rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Cheshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

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.
