It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting there discussing the weekend's football, ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Little Stretton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Seat Ibiza hire car by mistake. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was living at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my books!

Waste Fuel Disposal
Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the back of your garden containing out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Leicestershire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.
Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.
Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

This really was what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2 in the morning and noone was around. It had become pretty quiet so far, and Ray and I were loafing reading a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare quiet moment in Leicestershire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The person on the phone explained: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel cyan Seat by mistake". We instructed him to tell us where the car was and we set off, arriving in Little Stretton not as much as half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thank you for arriving so fast. As we were returning home we noticed two girls on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to 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:
- 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.
