The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container lying in the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Gloucestershire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a garage, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.
