The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank laying in the back of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Bedfordshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a garage, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Monday and I was on my way to assist an elder lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Seat in Bidwell. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and arrived within 60 minutes. I reached the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only just purchased it several days ago right after my previous one, which I had had for about 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Bedfordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bidwell - Fuel Rescue Bidwell

A customer from Bidwell with her little ones in her diesel creamy white Fiat Doblo had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us weeping and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle would be alright and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the children in the back."

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.
