The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed in the rear of your premises with old, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Somerset to deal with removing 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.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps some containers in a garage, if we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TA5 Postcode - Stringston Misfueling

A customer had broken down on a road, Stringston just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was weeping and fairly troubled as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we attempted to sooth her as well as we could, reassuring her that it would be okay. By the time we arrived with her she was no longer disrupted and was pretty fascinated in watching our engineer complete the fuel drain on her expensive Kia Sportage.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stringston - Wrong Fuel in Car Stringston

I had a perfect day fishing on my holiday and felt satisfied the following working day as I set out to assist a young family on holiday in Stringston. They conked out after putting petrol into their expensive Lexus IS, and they were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling off her partner for turning out to be so confused. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Somerset and that it is nothing to stress about, even so he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was close to dawn and nobody was about. It had been pretty quiet up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing looking through a number of old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful time in Somerset. It was indeed so relaxing that when the phone rang I jumped! The voice on the phone stated: "I just finished my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a precious Audi S4". I told him to inform us just where he was and we left, getting to him in Stringston under an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the car and he said thanks for arriving so promptly. As we were returning to the depot we found two women at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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.
