It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next call to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in East Leake and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel trusty Vauxhall Meriva lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir in the back of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Nottinghamshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a few containers in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel may well cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist East Leake - Wrong Fuel in Car East Leake

I had a fantastic day fishing during my off day and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying in East Leake. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their company's Daewoo Leganza, and were around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the gal telling off her man for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Nottinghamshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted good bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I made the same mistake... I would personally never ever 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.
