The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden full of aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many domestic and commercial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle 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 a garage, assuming that we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel will trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty simply.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

I had been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down in a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was working she said, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only just acquired it a couple of days back when my former car, which I'd had for in excess of thirty years, eventually stopped working". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely Cambridgeshire woman!

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.
