It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in North Skelton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel trusty Cadillac Fleetwood hire car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Another job in North Yorkshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

The owner of a classic Toyota Sienna was sorry that he had put petrol in his diesel automobile when he got onto the road and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel car," is what he shared with us the very first time he rang. To be honest, when he initially contacted us he said he would like to comparison shop, but he phoned us back soon enough because our pricing and on-scene times were the most desirable. Obviously, our engineer had him performing his deliveries well within the period we'd quoted.

I enjoyed a perfect day fishing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a young couple away in North Skelton. They stopped after adding petrol in their buff Mercedes R-Class, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife berating her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in North Yorkshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever 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 VA 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.
