It was around five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there commenting on the football results, at the ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Ebrington and filled petrol in her diesel classic Mercedes SL65 AMG lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, since it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to parking bay we can reach the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL55 Postcode - Ebrington Misfueling

A woman had stopped on a road, Ebrington having just wrong fueled. She was weeping and truly troubled as she had put £42 petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we tried to cool her as well as we could, encouraging her that everything would be ok. By the time we reached her she was no longer distressed and was really curious in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her old Peugeot Partner. Later she said: "My vehicle is like my baby, I just got it so it honestly freaked me out that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm really gratified that it was so easily fixable."

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.
