It was just before eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated there commenting on the recent tennis, waiting for the next job that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Donnington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel classic Seat Toledo hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was living at.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container lying in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Gloucestershire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, provided that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will often result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Donnington - Wrong Fuel in Car Donnington

I had a great afternoon cycling during my off day and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young family away in Donnington. They had pulled over after putting diesel into their metallic grey Lexus IS, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I heard to the gal telling off her partner for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass quite frequently in Gloucestershire and that it's truly nothing to worry about, even so he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I'd never 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.
