The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Have an old fuel tank in the rear of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and industrial premises in Shropshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Wrong Fuel Assist Batchcott - Wrong Fuel in Car Batchcott

I'd had a great evening fishing during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new family who were on holiday in Batchcott. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their classic Dodge Avenger, and were about half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed while I listened to the girl telling off her man for being so daft. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in Shropshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same got an earful by his wife. Poor boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

Now I'm not necessarily that enthusiastic about carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids after a fantastic dinner cooked for us by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a man after he put the incorrect fuel in his friend's Volkswagen Fox. He was located in Batchcott hence it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I had my attention on stuff and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created some problems simply by starting it?" I explained truth be told there should not be damage and that also I'd remove the contaminated fuel immediately for him. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and one more satisfied motorist could continue their traveling without any fuss. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and this tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Shropshire just a small bit easier in my opinion!

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.
