It was before five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were sitting discussing the sports, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Cardington and filled petrol in a diesel metallic green Volkswagen Touareg 2 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very affected it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the customer rather quickly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

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.
