The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises with unwanted and old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several private and business premises in Northamptonshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a garage, provided that we can reach it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CV23 Postcode - Lilbourne Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to help an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel precious Mitsubishi Endeavor in Lilbourne. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up on a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel because I'd only just acquired it a few days ago right after my other car, which I had for more than 25 years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Northamptonshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lilbourne

Now I'm certainly not that interested in doing work Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just left the wife and kids after a fantastic lunch made for me by the better half, and I was off to deal with a guy after he filled the wrong petrol in his metallic grey Vauxhall Astra. He was located in Lilbourne hence it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused some problems through driving it?" I explained that generally there should not be problems and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and so another pleased customer could continue his journey with no bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Northamptonshire that tiny bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lilbourne - Fuel Rescue Lilbourne

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 3:30am and noone was around. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting reading several old magazines. This was an uncommon peaceful time in Northamptonshire. It was in fact so tranquil that the moment my mobile eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The customer told me: "I have just ended my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a brother's Kia Spectra in error". We told him to inform us just where the car was and we left, reaching him in Lilbourne less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. While we were returning to base we spotted two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we stopped and helped 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 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.
