It was around eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the rugby, prepared for the next call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Great Glen and put petrol in her diesel aunt's Vauxhall Bedford hire car in error. She was very affected apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, since it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container placed in the rear of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Leicestershire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LE8 Postcode - Great Glen Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Wednesday and we were on the way to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel white Land Rover Range Rover in Great Glen. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only just got it a week ago after my former car, which I had had for in excess of twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Leicestershire lady!

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.
