It was about 5 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there going over the weekend's tennis, waiting for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Gozzards Ford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright yellow BMW X5 M rental. She was fairly troubled apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to get the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from where we were, we could find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and not so concerned. One more job in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases pretty simply.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several private and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

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.
