It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were relaxing talking over the recent football rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in North Side and put petrol in her diesel light blue Volkswagen Touareg 2 lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could get to her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and not so stressed. Another job in Cambridgeshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car North Side

I'm certainly not overly excited about working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just come away from home after eating a tasty roast cooked by the wife, and I was off to assist a gentleman after he put the incorrect fuel in his dirty red Cadillac Sixty Special. He was only in North Side and so I was with him rapidly. As I pulled up behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and didn't ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any kind of problems by running it?" I explained that generally there should not be damage and also I'd get the fuel drained right away for him. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so another delighted customer could continue on his traveling without any subsequent bother. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make operating on weekends in Cambridgeshire a tiny bit easier to me!

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.
