The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in a shed, providing we can access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

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.
