It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there going over the weekend's sports results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Stretton Grandison and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel apple green Audi S4 rental car by mistake. She was rather affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather easily.
Take note that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.
Wrong Fuel in Car in HR8 Postcode - Stretton Grandison Misfueling
What a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Monday and we were on the way to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel green Kia Sorento in Stretton Grandison. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had only just purchased it a couple of days ago after my other one, which I owned for more than twenty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Herefordshire lady!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
