It was after five pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and me were resting talking over the football results, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Kinton and filled petrol in a diesel sky blue VW rental in error. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off contented and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my books!

Waste Fuel Removal
Got a fuel reservoir in the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it.

We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.
No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few containers in a shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel will often cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.
Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
