It was just after five pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Garthorpe and put petrol in a diesel aunt's Vauxhall Combo rental car. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to get to the lady right away.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the back of the garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many domestic and business premises in Leicestershire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a shed, as long as we can access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather easily.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel aunt's Fiat Panda in Garthorpe. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater road along the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd just acquired it a couple of days ago because my previous one, which I'd owned for over twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Leicestershire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Garthorpe - Wrong Fuel in Car Garthorpe

I'd had a great afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I set off to help a new couple vacationing in Garthorpe. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their cobalt blue MINI Countryman, and were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I heard to the lady berating her husband for being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem goes on on a regular basis in Leicestershire and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and considered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
