It was just after eight pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting there discussing the rugby, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Sutton St Michael and filled petrol in her diesel mom's BMW 545 rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty agitated it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and business properties in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even numerous drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Herefordshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to crank the vehicle - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR1 Postcode - Sutton St Michael Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and we were on my way to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel khaki green Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 in Sutton St Michael. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only purchased it several days back when my previous car, which I owned for about 25 years, eventually died on me". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Herefordshire lady!

She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Mitsubishi L300 and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she would be able to simply fill up her vehicle with diesel and it'd be no problem. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she came to the entrance of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it fixed within an hour or so while she was working.

Likely Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

This is a list of general wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Loss in vehicle power
  • Motor cutting out, jumping or even coughing
  • Difficulty starting the engine
  • Abnormal smoking

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.
