The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel reservoir laying in the back of your garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous domestic and industrial premises in Herefordshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even numerous drums in a shed, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be totally 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:

  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.
