The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to many private and commercial premises in Herefordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

What a great night of sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Sunday and we were off to assist an old lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel green Dodge Charger in Strangford. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was broken down on a country road on route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only just got it a short while ago because my old car, which I'd used for over twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Herefordshire lady!

I'd had a great day golfing during my day off and felt contented with myself the following working day as I set off to help a young couple vacationing in Strangford. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their apricot Cadillac Sixty Special, and they were roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this happens on daily basis in Herefordshire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, and yet he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed so long and pondered on what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
