Other Services

This could be of interest to you.

You may be curious to discover the other services we offer too.

At the end of the day, our technician will be carrying a tank-full of contaminated fuel they have drained from a few vehicles that will need to be disposed of. Nowadays, such fuel should be disposed of properly since pouring it out might pollute the environment and the local water supply. But we can manage it for you since we have the ideal equipment, and we are certified by the Environment Agency to do so.

It is also a service that we provide separately to commercial and private customers at a fee. We have the capacity to drain various types of containers including fixed and mobile tanks so long as we can get to where they are located. We subsequently cart away the contaminated liquids and properly dispose of them in accordance with the laid down procedures and regulations.

Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Apart from wrong fuel, water can also cause same symptoms, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you must also suspect it. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in the event of wrong fuel.

A diesel-powered vehicle may also exhibit such symptoms when someone puts AdBlue straight into the vehicle’s fuel tank. The correct way to add it is via a separate tank and automatic dosing system built into the vehicle.

Still, there's no need to panic. Whatever engine issue you have, whether contaminated fuel with water or AdBlue, we can absolutely help you. By using the same process of draining and flushing the fuel system as used in solving the problem of wrong fuel in the car, we can enable you to get back on the road.

Wrong Fuel in Car Stansted - Petrol in Diesel Car Stansted

A somewhat alarmed driver called us from the Shell petrol station to advise us that he put petrol in to his diesel Stansted; he wasn't really certain how he'd done it. We said to him it was not a hassle and rapidly had our fuel drainer out to him to clear the contaminated fuel from his tank. Having extracted the incorrect fuel, he was soon back driving. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the guy who came out to carry out the fuel drain was extremely nice - he did not make me feel like a plonker."

It was close to 7 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and I were sitting discussing the football rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station and put petrol in her diesel Stansted lease car in error. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and much less anxious. Yet another job done well in my mind!

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.
