The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel reservoir sitting at the rear of your garden full of old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Lancashire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, as long as we are able to get to it, we can empty it.

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and I was on the way to help an older woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel faithful Saab 9000 in Freckleton. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up on a rural road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel as I'd only just bought it a short while ago after my previous car, which I used for about thirty years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. Such a delightful Lancashire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Freckleton

Now I'm not ever overly keen on carrying out work weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids following a magnificent dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a fellow after he put the wrong fuel in his metallic silver Skoda Superb. He was stationed in Freckleton so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and didn't realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused problems through driving it?" I said that truth be told there should not be any kind of harm and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and then yet another content client was able to continue his ride without hassle. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on weekends in Lancashire just that little bit less painful for me personally!

This really was the night shift. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It had become pretty dead thus far, and me and Ryan were sitting perusing a number of old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet moment in Lancashire. It was in fact so relaxing that when the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer on the phone stated: "I've only just finished my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel mustard yellow Mazda626 by mistake". We got him to inform us just where he was located and we set off, ending up in Freckleton not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming out so promptly. While we were heading back home we found two ladies at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to help them change it, to their elation.

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 VA 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.
