It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting discussing the sports results, prepared for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Benover hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was very distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!




On getting to your vehicle

First thing the mobile technician will do when he reaches you is to check the problem. In the rare case that the problem isn’t wrong fuel in your car, they will recognize this prior to doing any more work, and only a nominal call out fee will be made.

Signs of car problems mentioned above are an indication that your car has been filled with incorrect fuel. Since we have the needed tools and fresh fuel, we can fix that issue right away wherever you are. These three reasons should persuade you why we should serve you. First and foremost, our teams are knowledgeable in handling your situation and can get you back on the road very quickly. The second reason is that we ask for the same price for fresh fuel as that charged in a gas station. And the third reason is that we allow all forms of payment, hence if you don’t have ample cash with you, we will take payments via any major debit or credit card.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

There are other causes of engine troubles apart from wrong fuel in a car. Such signs as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Water is also likely to cause irreparable damage to fuel filters.

The same set of signs may also be due to somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. It should be added to the vehicle through the dosing system of a separate built-in tank.

But you do not have to worry since we can fix both issues for you by using similar procedure used in solving the problem of wrong fuel. We are always there to fix your car and get you back on the road no matter if it is an issue of the wrong fuel, fuel contaminated with water, or even AdBlue contamination.

Getting rid of this contaminated fuel is not permitted to anyone unless you are qualified to do so. If these fuels are thrown just anywhere, they could degrade the environment and possibly pollute the local water supply. Our accreditation from the Environment Agency makes us capable of disposing contaminated fuels the appropriate way and legally.

It is also a service that we deliver separately to commercial and private customers at a fee. We have the ability to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. Rest assured that we will empty out the contaminated fuel and get rid of it safely to the right regulations.

We'll be there right away. But if a couple of minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention through browsing other services that we provide. For sure we'll arrive imminently. Once the technician has started his work, he'll just have about 30 minutes to get the job done and get you back on the road.

Just had a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to help an old woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Benover. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural road en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I have been getting quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just purchased it a few days back because my other car, which I'd had for about twenty five years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious lady!

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.

It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the tennis results, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station and put petrol in a diesel Benover hire car by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain well done in my books!
