The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the back of your garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial properties in Buckinghamshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a garage, providing we can reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I had a terrific day hiking during my afternoon off and felt delighted the next day as I set out to assist a new family on holiday in Wotton Underwood. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their brother's Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, and the car was close to half an hour away. I got there at their position and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this problem comes to pass everyday in Buckinghamshire and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wotton Underwood

I am not too hot for working Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after having a lovely roast made by the missus, and I was off to assist a gentleman who filled the wrong fuel in his brother's Honda CR-Z. He was somewhere in Wotton Underwood therefore I arrived there very quickly. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on something else and didn't grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created any kind of harm as a result of starting it?" I explained there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus another satisfied motorist could carry on with their ride without the bother. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that can make earning a living on Sundays in Buckinghamshire a little bit better for me!

This was certainly what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 3am and nobody was about. It was pretty quiet until now, and me and Brian were sitting around looking at a number of old newspapers. It was an uncommon peaceful hour in Buckinghamshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the instant the telephone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red VW Scirocco". We got him to tell us where he was situated and we left, getting to him in Wotton Underwood an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was removed from the vehicle and he said thank you for coming out so fast. While we were heading back home we found two young ladies at the side of the road who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we pulled over to help them change it, 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.
