The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container laying at the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to many private and commercial properties in Dorset for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, provided that we can access it, we are able to empty it for you.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DT6 Postcode - Furleigh Cross Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Monday and we were off to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel grass green Volkswagen in Furleigh Cross. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded in a rural lane on the way to visit her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only just purchased it several days ago after my previous one, which I'd used for about 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely Dorset lady!

And so, in the event that you have topped up your petrol car with the wrong fuel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel automobile just about anywhere in Dorset, contact us right now. Our professional mechanics are available and waiting for your call.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Furleigh Cross

Now I'm not actually that hot for doing the job weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just left the family filled with a fantastic Sunday roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman because he put the incorrect fuel in his spotless Hyundai Scoupe. He was located in Furleigh Cross so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused any damage simply by starting it?" I determined that there probably should not be any harm and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and one more satisfied motorist was able to continue on their trip without hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make operating on Sundays in Dorset just that small bit better for 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.
