It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were seated discussing the recent sports, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in North Tidworth and put the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Mitsubishi Lancer rental car in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and not so anxious. One more job in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden full of old, useless or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial premises in Wiltshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
