It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there discussing the golf rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Turfmoor and filled petrol in her diesel elegant BMW Z4 M Roadster hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the woman swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very swiftly.
Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.
Waste Fuel Disposal
Got an old fuel container lying at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Shropshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.
Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Turfmoor
Now I am not actually that excited about working on weekends, and the other day was no different. I had just departed home filled with a fantastic lunch made for me by the better half, and I was en route to help a guy after he had put the incorrect fuel in his red Chevrolet Cavalier. He was somewhere in Turfmoor thus I was on scene very quickly. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I had my concentration on other things and didn't perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about harm because of driving it?" I determined that generally there should not be harm and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so yet another happy customer had the ability to continue on their traveling without difficulty. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Shropshire that tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
