It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were relaxing there talking about the recent tennis results, waiting around for the next job to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Granborough and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Mitsubishi Excel hire car. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off relaxed and less anxious. One more job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial premises in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations rather quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in MK18 Postcode - Granborough Misfueling

A relatively alarmed customer called us from the Esso filling station at Buckinghamshire to inform us that he put unleaded in his diesel modified Cadillac Fleetwood; he wasn't quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was absolutely no hassle and before long had our fuel drainer with him to drain the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having extracted the wrong fuel, he was almost immediately back rolling again. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the guy who was sent to undertake the fuel drain was very pleasant - he didn't make me appear like a fool."

We furnish you with fresh fuel at petrol station rates, and we can generally have your vehicle fixed and set to head out in under an hour or so. All mixed fuel is discarded by us by means of a licensed waste transporter and recycled.

Wrong Fuel Assist Granborough - Wrong Fuel in Car Granborough

I had appreciated a fantastic day hiking on my holiday and felt cheerful the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple on vacation in Granborough. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their grass green Volkswagen Golf, and they were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs all the time in Buckinghamshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what my wife would do to me if I made the same error... I'd 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.

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.
