Wrong Fuel in Car Cole End, Warwickshire

It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Cole End and filled petrol in a diesel uncle's Daihatsu Charade rental in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen. She was able to move the car to a protected area and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and less concerned. Another fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my books!

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of your garden with unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Warwickshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a shed, providing we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases quite swiftly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in B46 Postcode - Cole End Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel light green Fiat Nuova 500 in Cole End. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down along a backwater road on the way to see her godchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I have been becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only just bought it several days back after my old car, which I'd had for about twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Warwickshire woman!

Therefore, in the event that you've topped up your petrol automobile with the wrong fuel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel automobile anywhere in Warwickshire, speak to us now. Our professional mechanics are ready and waiting for your call.

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.
