The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting in the back of your garden with aged, unusable or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business properties in Northumberland to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even several drums in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

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.
