It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! James and me were seated there discussing the recent sports results, ready for the 6th call to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol station in Craswall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel silver Land Rover Defender 90 rental. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking spot we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
