It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's footy, ready for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Chiltern Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark blue Chevrolet Colorado hire car. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off contented and much less worried. A job in Bedfordshire well done in my books!

Waste Fuel Removal
Got an old fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Bedfordshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.
No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in an outbuilding, as long as we can access it, we are able to empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.
Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.
Wrong Fuel in Car in LU2 Postcode - Chiltern Green Misfueling
A relatively concerned motorist phoned us from the Shell petrol station at Bedfordshire to advise us that he put petrol into his diesel navy blue BMW 330; he wasn't quite sure how he'd done it. We explained to him it was not a situation and rapidly had our specialist out to him to clear the incorrect fuel from his car. Having taken away the incorrect fuel, he was subsequently back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the gentleman who came to carry out the fuel drain was really very good - he did not make me appear stupid."

A lady living in Chiltern Green contacted us as soon as she tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Ford Escort and, like countless before her, thought that she would be able to simply fill up her tank with diesel and it'd run no problem. The engine was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted within an hour whilst she was at the office. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you sorted my car."

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
