It was around 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting talking over the tennis results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Whitefield and put petrol in her diesel green Kia Rio5 hire car by mistake. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could find the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and not so anxious. Another job in Greater Manchester well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.
You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
Boat Fuel Drains
If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.
Wrong Fuel in Car in BL9 Postcode - Whitefield Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Monday and I was on the way to help an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel silver Toyota Prius in Whitefield. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane along the way to see her family. I popped the location in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only just got it a few days back because my other one, which I had owned for about 25 years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful Greater Manchester woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Whitefield
I'm not necessarily overly hot for doing work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just departed the wife and kids following a magnificent roast made by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow after he put the incorrect petrol in his metallic green Peugeot 309. He was stationed in Whitefield so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I drove up at the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created some damage simply by starting it?" I said that truth be told there probably should not be any harm and also I'd get the fuel drained immediately. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the correct fuel, and thus another happy customer was able to carry on with their ride without the need for bother. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in Greater Manchester just that small bit better for me!

- 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.
