Wrong Fuel in Car Townend, Staffordshire

It was around 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing talking about the tennis, ready for the next fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Townend and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Chrysler PT Cruiser rental in error. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. One more job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Staffordshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even several drums in a garage, assuming that we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
