It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were relaxing going over the football results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in West Littleton and filled petrol in her diesel racing green Porsche 911 rental car. The poor thing was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, as it was only a few miles off from us, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container laying in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations quite simply.

You should know that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SN14 Postcode - West Littleton Misfueling

The driver of a blue Audi Q7 was sorry that he put unleaded in his diesel automobile when he got onto the road and it coughed and stopped. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel vehicle," is what he told us the first time he phoned. To be truthful, when he initially telephoned us he said he wanted to shop around, but he phoned us back shortly because our rate and on-scene times were the most desirable. Needless to say, our engineer had him once again performing his deliveries within the period we'd cited.

No matter if you are in a state of the art vehicle or an old design, we have the hardware as well as experience to repair the issue right there. We clear away all the wrong fuel, handle any issues created as a result of the misfueling, and get you going.

Wrong Fuel Assist West Littleton - Wrong Fuel in Car West Littleton

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I was en route to help a new couple who were away in West Littleton. They pulled over after putting diesel into their cyan Peugeot 207, and were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the woman berating her man for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on regularly in Gloucestershire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted good-bye and considered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car West Littleton

A teenager who had recently got his licence had wrong fueled his gorgeous Volkswagen Passat by having unleaded in his diesel car at the service station close to West Littleton. He said, "This is just the second time I have filled up my car from the time when I purchased it and I don't know how to proceed." He was scared because his dad had only just paid for the car. He located our company on the web and so called it right away, scared about what he needed to do.

A young lady from West Littleton with a full car of children in her diesel teal Mercedes SLK-Class had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the BP station. She phoned us crying and really distraught as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that the car would be okay and that she would be back in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

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.
