The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed in the rear of your garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Derbyshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps several containers in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations quite quickly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Thornsett - Wrong Fuel in Car Thornsett

I had a terrific day golfing on the weekend and felt pleased the following day as I headed out to assist a young family on holiday in Thornsett. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their white Mitsubishi Endeavor, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife telling off her partner for being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this situation goes on all the time in Derbyshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed good-bye and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever live it down!

"I couldn't believe how rapid you were in getting a technician out to help me when I filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you ever so much". As you can imagine we got there punctually and purged the engine after draining all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

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.
