It was close to six pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Downend and filled petrol in a diesel stylish Fiat Multipla rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes off from us, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Berkshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel tank in the back of the garden with aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several domestic and commercial properties in Berkshire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it for you.

We received a call from a motorist who put the wrong fuel in his matte black Hyundai Genesis in Downend. He had conked out on the street. "I was amazed at how fast you people were in getting a fuel drainer out to assist me when I stupidly filled my diesel car with petrol. Thanks". Needless to say we got there promptly and flushed the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the motorist was scowling, but was pleased afterwards.

A woman living in Downend phoned us after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dirty red Chevrolet Silverado and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to simply fill her tank with diesel and it'd run no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she reached the entrance of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired in one hour whilst she was at the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm very relieved you sorted my car."

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.
