It was just after five pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's football, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Bicester and put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Audi A6 hire car. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from where we were, we could get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel container in the rear of the garden containing unwanted and old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Oxfordshire to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a storage shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly drain 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 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.
