It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Hempsted and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition Toyota Sequoia hire car. She was very agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was only a few miles from us, we could find the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and less worried. A job in Gloucestershire done well in my opinion!

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hempsted - Wrong Fuel in Car Hempsted

I appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing on the weekend and was feeling contented the following day as I was en route to aid a young family who were on holiday in Hempsted. They'd pulled over after adding petrol into their precious BMW M Roadster, and were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their car and laughed while I listened to the woman berating her hubby for being so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass frequently in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, but he all the same had an earful. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I mouthed so long and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
