The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Gloucestershire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a shed, if we can reach it, we can empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

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.
