It was around eight pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there talking over the recent golf results, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Noverton and filled petrol in a diesel metallic grey Austin Mini rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Waste Fuel Disposal

We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.
Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty easily.
Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.
Wrong Fuel in Car in GL52 Postcode - Noverton Misfueling
What a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel apple green Audi Cabriolet in Noverton. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a backwater lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only just purchased it a few days back because my former car, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Gloucestershire lady!

- 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.
