It was about 7 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting talking over the recent sports rankings, waiting for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Horpit and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel light blue BMW X6 lease car. She was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from the office, we could find the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
