It was after six pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there talking over the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Warpsgrove and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright yellow Lexus IS lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial properties in Oxfordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very easily.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Warpsgrove - Wrong Fuel in Car Warpsgrove

I enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the next working day as I was on the way to help a young family who were holidaying in Warpsgrove. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their raspberry red Honda Accord, and were close to an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled as I listened to the woman telling off her partner for being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Oxfordshire and that it's truly nothing to fret about, even so he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
