We're just a phone call away.

It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and me were resting there going over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh call to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Bolton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel matte black Hyundai Sonata hire car. She was pretty troubled apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container sitting at the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Northumberland to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NE66 Postcode - Bolton Misfueling

A somewhat concerned driver phoned us from the Total filling station at Northumberland to advise us that he had put petrol in to his diesel brand new BMW Z4; he wasn't really sure how he'd managed to do it. We assured him it was absolutely no concern and soon had our engineer out to him to drain the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having taken away the wrong fuel, he was soon back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who was sent to do the fuel drain was especially fantastic - he did not make me look and feel like an idiot."

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 VA 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.
