It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated discussing the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Send and put petrol in her diesel customised Dodge Colt lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. Another job in Surrey well done in my books!

Motorboat Fuel Drains
If you find you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in fuel is going to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very quickly.
Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

He was also afraid since his dad had just recently paid for the car. He came across us on the net and so called us immediately, frightened about what he needed to do.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Send - Fuel Rescue Send
This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty uneventful up to now, and Ryan and I were sitting looking at several old newspapers. This was a rare tranquil moment in Surrey. It was indeed that calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The person stated: "I have only just ended my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a dark blue Volvo V90 by mistake". I told him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, ending up in Send no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said thank you for showing up so rapidly. While we were heading back home we saw two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. So we got out to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
