The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few domestic and business premises in East Sussex for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases fairly quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Pevensey - Wrong Fuel in Car Pevensey

I enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during my off day and felt contented with myself the following working day as I was on the way to help a young family on holiday in Pevensey. They'd broken down after putting diesel into their sombre grey Fiat Doblo, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in East Sussex and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still had an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the guy. At any rate, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
