The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank lying in the rear of your premises full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Leicestershire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly drain it.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DE12 Postcode - Donisthorpe Misfueling

The driver of a dirty red Volvo C70 was sorry that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the street and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel vehicle," is what he said to us the first time he phoned. To tell the truth, when he initially contacted us he said he wanted to shop around, but he phoned us back before long because our pricing and arrival times were the best. Obviously, our fuel drainer had him again doing his deliveries within the time we'd estimated.

All of our technicians are competent on the most up-to-date cars and their fuel systems. We show up at well over 4,000 contaminated fuel removals on a yearly basis in the UK (sure, there are that many people who also make the mistake - you are certainly not the only person).

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become quite uneventful until now, and me and Brian were sitting looking through several old papers. That was an unusual quiet moment in Leicestershire. It was indeed so peaceful that the instant the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The motorist stated: "I've just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel blue Seat Toledo". We told him to tell us exactly where he was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Donisthorpe less than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. While we were returning home we found two young women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up to 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 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.
