It was close to 6 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's rugby results, ready for the 6th job of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Mickleton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan Peugeot 207 hire car. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected area and, because it was just a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Waste Fuel Removal
Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very expediently.
Take note however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.
Wrong Fuel in Car in GL55 Postcode - Mickleton Misfueling
A rather alarmed motorist phoned us from the BP petrol station at Gloucestershire to advise us that he had put unleaded in to his diesel dirty red Peugeot 104; he wasn't actually sure how he'd managed to do it. We told him it was not a worry and soon enough had our fuel drainer out to him to drain the wrong fuel from his tank. Having purged the bad fuel, he was soon enough back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am truly shocked I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the man who was sent to do the fuel drain was extremely fantastic - he did not make me feel like a fool."

It truly was what we call the night shift. It was around dawn and noone was about. It had been rather quiet so far, and me and Paul were relaxing reading a couple of old newspapers. This was an unusual peaceful moment in Gloucestershire. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The customer said: "I have just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my stylish BMW 600 by mistake". I got him to tell us where he was and we left, getting to him in Mickleton no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the car. He said thank you for coming out so rapidly. As we were going back home we noticed two women at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. As a result we stopped to help them change it, much to their delight.

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.
