It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Clophill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic blue Daihatsu Rocky lease car. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container in the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and commercial premises in Bedfordshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in MK45 Postcode - Clophill Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Saturday and we were off to help an old lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Skoda Fabia in Clophill. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded on a country road along the way to see her godchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a week ago after my old car, which I owned for over 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Bedfordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Clophill - Wrong Fuel in Car Clophill

I'd had a wonderful evening hiking on my afternoon off and felt pleased the following day as I set out to aid a young couple who were on vacation in Clophill. They had conked out after adding petrol into their partner's BMW 7 Series, and they were around an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal telling her partner off for being so daft. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Bedfordshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he yet still got his ear bent. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel. As they drove off I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I made the very same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances 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.

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.
