It was about 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were resting talking about the weekend's sports, waiting around for the sixth call of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Rhydd and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mint green VW Scirocco rental car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive.

We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet 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.

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.
