It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were relaxing there talking about the rugby results, waiting around for the 6th job that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Sonning Eye and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel navy blue Mitsubishi rental. The poor thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to reach her swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. A fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Oxfordshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even numerous containers in a garage, if we can reach it, we can drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG4 Postcode - Sonning Eye Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was off to help an older lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel burgundy red Mitsubishi Lancer in Sonning Eye. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up in a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only just bought it several days back when my old car, which I'd had for more than twenty years, finally broke down". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Oxfordshire woman!

I'd had a fantastic evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I was en route to aid a new family who were vacationing in Sonning Eye. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their sunflower yellow Mitsubishi Precis, and were about half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the wife telling off her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it's nothing to fret about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same error... I would personally never ever live it down!

This was certainly the night shift. It was close to sunrise and nobody was stirring. It was pretty quiet so far, and Ray and I were sitting perusing some old magazines. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The person on the other end stated: "I have ended my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a creamy white Renault Clio in error". I told him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was located and we headed out, getting to him in Sonning Eye only 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. While we were going back home we spotted two ladies on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
