It was after 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Norleywood and filled petrol in a diesel company's Skoda Fabia rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to a number of domestic and business properties in Hampshire for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It was quite dead thus far, and me and Ray were relaxing reading a couple of old magazines. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Hampshire. Actually it was that quiet that the moment the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The customer on the phone said: "I've concluded my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in my diesel father's Mitsubishi in error". We instructed him to let us know just where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving in Norleywood no more than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for getting there so quickly. While we were heading back to the office we saw two girls on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
