The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in Buckinghamshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it for you.

The owner of a cyan Seat Mii was sorry that he put unleaded in his diesel car when he got onto the road and it spluttered and broke down. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel vehicle," is what he informed us the first time he called.

Wrong Fuel Assist Petsoe End - Wrong Fuel in Car Petsoe End

I had a fantastic day cycling during my holiday and felt cheerful the following day as I headed out to assist a young couple on holiday in Petsoe End. They pulled over after adding petrol into their beautiful Vauxhall Meriva, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place all the time in Buckinghamshire and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, and yet he all the same had an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and considered what my wife would ask me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Petsoe End

Now I am not actually excessively interested in doing the job Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left home following a lovely Sunday roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a guy who filled the incorrect fuel in his silver Citron Picasso. He was located in Petsoe End therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any kind of damage simply by driving it?" I said there should not be damage and that I would remove the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and then yet another delighted motorist was able to continue his journey without difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what makes working on Sundays in Buckinghamshire just a tiny bit less painful for me personally!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was around sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had been rather uneventful until now, and me and Ray were sitting looking at some old magazines. That was a rare peaceful time in Buckinghamshire. It was in fact so tranquil that the instant my mobile finally rang it made me start! The person on the phone stated: "I have only just ended my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel grass green Audi V8 in error". We instructed him to tell us where he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Petsoe End no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were going back home we saw two young ladies on the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up and helped them 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 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.
