The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and business properties in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SY10 Postcode - Melverley Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to help an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class in Melverley. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was pulled up along a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had only just acquired it a short while back when my old one, which I'd owned for about thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a pleasant Shropshire lady!

This was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly 2am and hardly anyone was about. It was rather uneventful so far, and John and I were loafing about reading a couple of old papers. It was a rare peaceful hour in Shropshire. It was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The voice said: "I have completed my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel black BMW". I got him to let us know where exactly he was located and we headed out, getting to him in Melverley less than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car and he said thank you for getting there so quickly. As we were coming back to the office we noticed two young women on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.
