The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Greenwich for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even numerous containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we can drain it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in EC4R Postcode - Upper Thames Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Sunday and I was on the way to help an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Land Rover Defender 90 in Upper Thames. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just bought it a short while back when my old one, which I had had for about thirty years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Greenwich lady!

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 VA 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.
