The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

Be aware though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel container at the back of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several private and industrial premises in County Durham to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even several containers in a storage shed, provided that we are able to reach it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Summerhouse

Now I am not actually that keen on working weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids filled with a lovely lunch prepared by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a man because he filled the wrong fuel in his boss' Honda CR-X. He was situated in Summerhouse therefore I arrived on scene soon. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on stuff and failed to realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any kind of damage by starting it?" I explained generally there should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel right away. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus yet another contented customer could continue their traveling without the hassle. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes working on weekends in County Durham a little bit less painful to me!

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.
