It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there commenting on the rugby results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Tadley and put petrol in her diesel wife's Hyundai Scoupe rental car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OX11 Postcode - Tadley Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Saturday and we were en route to help an elder lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel red Isuzu i-Series in Tadley. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down in a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only acquired it a week ago after my old car, which I'd owned for over thirty years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Oxfordshire 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.
