The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the back of the garden with unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few domestic and industrial properties in Dorset for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a few drums in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Sherborne

I'm not actually too inclined to doing work on weekends, and the other day was the same. I had just departed home following a tasty roast made by the better half, and I was off to sort out a fellow after he put the wrong petrol in his red Cadillac XLR-V. He was somewhere in Sherborne so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I drove up behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any harm because of running it?" I explained there probably should not be harm and that also I'd get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. As expected I drained the fuel from the car and put in the correct fuel, and another pleased client had the ability to continue on their journey without any subsequent difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Dorset that little easier for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Sherborne - Fuel Rescue Sherborne

A woman from Sherborne with her kids in her diesel well worn Mazda MX-3 had put £45 of petrol at the petrol station. She called us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that all should be fine and that she would be up and running quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children on board."

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.
