It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! James and I were sitting there discussing the recent tennis, at the ready for the next job to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Hillside and put petrol in her diesel mom's BMW 760 rental by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could find the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my mind!

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying at the back of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and business properties in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

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

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WV16 Postcode - Hillside Misfueling

The owner of a work's Mazda B2500 was sorry that he put petrol in his diesel automobile when he got onto the street and it coughed and ceased. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel vehicle," is what he told us the first time he rang. To tell the truth, when he first called us he said he would like to check around, but he called us back soon enough because our pricing and arrival times were the most appropriate. As you can imagine, our fuel drainer had him again doing his deliveries within the time we had cited.

We hold complete Environment Agency registration and Liability insurance designed for your own personal peace of mind. Whether you are driving an historical dinosaur or a new sports-car we can assist you.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hillside - Wrong Fuel in Car Hillside

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling delighted the next day as I headed out to help a young couple who were on holiday in Hillside. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their classic Seat Ibiza, and the car was approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife berating her husband for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation happens quite frequently in Shropshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. In any case, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
