The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying in the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in East Sussex to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly drain it for you.

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.
