It was before 8 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Longnor and put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Toyota Land Cruiser lease car. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my opinion!

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Staffordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may well trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in ST19 Postcode - Longnor Misfueling

A motorist had come to a halt on a street, Longnor having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and fairly distressed as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. As she contacted us we made an effort to sooth her as well as we could, reassuring her that all would be okay. By the time we arrived with her she was no longer aggrieved and was curious in watching our engineer perform the fuel drain on her mum's Nissan Murano. Afterwards she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I just purchased it and so it especially worried me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm so glad that it was very easily repairable."

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.
