The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden full of aged, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and business properties in East Sussex for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several drums in a shed, as long as we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TN6 Postcode - Poundgate Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an elder lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel light green Daihatsu Charade in Poundgate. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I had just bought it a couple of days ago when my old one, which I had for over twenty years, eventually died". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely East Sussex lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Poundgate - Wrong Fuel in Car Poundgate

I had a perfect afternoon cycling on my day off and was feeling delighted the following day as I was en route to aid a new family who were on holiday in Poundgate. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their dark blue Suzuki Grand Vitara, and they were around half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in East Sussex and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Poundgate

I am not necessarily very hot for running on weekends, and a while back was the same. I had only just left the wife and kids after eating a tasty roast cooked for me by the wife, and I was en route to assist a fellow after he put the wrong fuel in his apple green Nissan. He was somewhere in Poundgate hence I arrived on scene rapidly. As I drove up behind the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted any problems by simply driving it?" I said that truth be told there should not be harm and also that I would get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more happy motorist could carry on with his journey without any subsequent bother. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this makes earning a living on Sundays in East Sussex that little less painful to me!

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.
