It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, at the ready for the 6th job to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Audley and put petrol in a diesel new Hyundai Sonata rental by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, because it was just a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at her swiftly.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of the garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business properties in Staffordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps numerous containers in a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in ST7 Postcode - Audley Misfueling

A motorist had stopped on a road, Audley just after having put petrol in her diesel car. She was crying and truly agitated as she had put £50 of petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we attempted to relax her as well as we could, reassuring her that all would be alright. When we got to her she was not aggrieved any more and was pretty fascinated in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her gorgeous Seat Alhumbra.

I'm so glad that it was very easily fixable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Audley - Wrong Fuel in Car Audley

I had appreciated a terrific day hiking on my afternoon off and felt pleased the next morning as I set off to aid a young family on vacation in Audley. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their brother's Honda Civic GX, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her man for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Staffordshire and that it's nothing to stress about, but he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally 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.
