The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to several private and business properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even a few containers in an outbuilding, providing we are able to access it, we can drain it.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and I was en route to help an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Audi A8 in Buckland Newton. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a country road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she told me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only just acquired it a short while back right after my other one, which I'd had for over thirty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a delightful Dorset lady!

This really was what we call the night shift. It was around dawn and nobody was about. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and John were loafing reading a number of old articles. That was a rare quiet hour in Dorset. Actually it was in fact so calm that when the telephone finally rang I jumped! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I only just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel black Fiat Doblo". We asked him to tell us where exactly the car was and we headed out, arriving in Buckland Newton less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. As we were heading back to base we saw two women on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we pulled over and helped them change it, 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.
