It was before ten pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were seated there talking over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 6th job that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Westfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel company's Skoda Citigo lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She managed to get the car to a safe spot and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so worried. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying at the rear of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Surrey for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a garage, as long as we can get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GU22 Postcode - Westfield Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and we were on my way to assist an old woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in Westfield. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up in a backwater lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd just purchased it several days back after my other car, which I'd owned for over 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Surrey lady!

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.
