The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir sitting in the back of your garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial premises in Gloucestershire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or even a number of drums in a storage shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will likely result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

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:

    • 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.
