She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Buckinghamshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

This really was the night shift. It was about 2:30am and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite dead thus far, and Mark and I were sitting around reading a number of old magazines. This was a rare restful time in Buckinghamshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the moment the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist said: "I concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a buff Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class". I got him to tell us where he was and we hit the road, arriving in High Wycombe no more than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle.

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.
