The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel container placed at the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and business properties in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or even some containers in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it for you.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and noone was around. It had been pretty quiet until now, and Paul and I were loafing about browsing some old papers. That was an unusual tranquil moment in County Durham. Actually it was indeed so quiet that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the phone stated: "I have completed my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my modified Kia Carens in error". I instructed him to tell us where he was and we left, ending up in Seaham under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thanks for getting there so fast. While we were going back to base we found two young women on the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we pulled over 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 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.
