The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir lying at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in County Durham for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, assuming that we can get to it, we are able to empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DL2 Postcode - Denton Misfueling

A motorist had stopped on a road, Denton just after having wrong fueled. She was in tears and quite troubled as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we made an effort to relax her as well as we could, reassuring her that everything would be fine. By the time we arrived with her she was no longer upset and was quite curious in observing our engineer do the fuel drain on her clean white Volvo V40. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is akin to my child, I only just purchased it so it genuinely concerned me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm gratified that it was so very easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Denton - Wrong Fuel in Car Denton

I appreciated a fantastic evening golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next working day as I was en route to assist a new couple who were away in Denton. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their cyan Cadillac DTS, and they were roughly an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem takes place continuously in County Durham and that it's nothing to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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 VA 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.
