It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the 8th job to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Cothill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Isuzu Impulse rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She was able to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the rear of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OX13 Postcode - Cothill Misfueling

A relatively concerned driver phoned us from the BP filling station at Oxfordshire to inform us that he had put unleaded in his diesel company's Cadillac Sixty Special; he wasn't actually certain how he'd done it. We informed him it was no worry and soon enough had our man with him to clean the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having extracted the wrong fuel, he was shortly back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am honestly surprised I put petrol in my diesel car. And the man who was sent to perform the fuel drain was incredibly excellent - he did not make me look ridiculous."

We have full Environment Agency licencing and Liability insurance intended for your own personal reassurance. Whether you are driving an old banger or a modern super-car we can certainly assist.

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.

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.
