The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle!

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed in the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lea - Wrong Fuel in Car Lea

I enjoyed a great afternoon fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I was en route to assist a young family who were on holiday in Lea. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their canary yellow Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her man off for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this problem comes to pass all the time in Shropshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted farewell and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never live it down!

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.
