The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got an old fuel tank laying in the back of the garden with out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Herefordshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even numerous containers in a storage shed, if we are able to reach it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and noone was about. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were loafing around looking at a couple of old magazines. That was an uncommon restful time in Herefordshire. It was so quiet that when my mobile ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person told me: "I've only just concluded my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel sunflower yellow Honda in error". I told him to let us know just where he was and we left, ending up in Upper Broxwood 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. As we were returning home we found two young ladies on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.
  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.
