It was just before eight pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there commenting on the recent football, at the ready for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Charndon and put petrol in a diesel sky blue MINI Cooper rental car by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and less apprehensive. A job in Buckinghamshire done well in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container placed in the rear of your premises with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Charndon - Wrong Fuel in Car Charndon

I'd had a wonderful evening hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were away in Charndon. They stopped after putting diesel in their precious Nissan Armada, and were around half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I heard to the woman chastising her partner for being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place constantly in Buckinghamshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he yet still got an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove away I shouted so long and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
