It was just after seven pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the recent golf rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Bosbury and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel canary yellow Volkswagen Jetta hire car. The poor thing was pretty troubled apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. Another job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden containing old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very quickly.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR8 Postcode - Bosbury Misfueling

A woman had come to a halt on a street, Bosbury just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was sobbing and very agitated as she had put £45 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to sooth her as well as we could, reassuring her that all would be ok. When we got to her she was no longer aggrieved and was pretty curious in observing our engineer do the fuel drain on her white Saab 9-5. Later she said: "My vehicle is like my baby, I only recently got it and thus it honestly worried me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm very pleased that it was so very easily repairable."

He called us to get a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't know that I had put the incorrect fuel in my car."

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.
