The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container at the rear of your premises with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Rutland for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, assuming that we can access it, we can empty 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 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.
