It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Cabbage Hill and put petrol in her diesel blue Volvo XC70 rental in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Berkshire well done in my books!

We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally 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.

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.
