The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your garden containing out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and industrial properties in Wiltshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

The owner of a dark red Toyota Solara was sorry that he had put unleaded in his diesel car when he got onto the street and it spluttered and stopped. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel vehicle," is what he shared with us the first time he called. To be honest, when he first called us he said he'd research prices, but he called us back soon enough because our price and arrival times were the best. Naturally, our fuel drainer had him carrying out his deliveries within the period we had quoted.

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.
