The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel container sitting in the rear of the garden full of out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of containers in a garage, providing we can access it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Saturday and I was off to assist an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel father's Toyota Corolla in Brimpsfield. I had been told she had left the filling station and stranded in a country road on the way to visit her family. I got the location punched in the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had just purchased it a few days back when my previous car, which I had for about 30 years, inevitably died". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Gloucestershire lady!

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.
