The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to quite a few private and industrial premises in Oxfordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several containers in a storage shed, if we can get to it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances very simply.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Headington

I'm not overly keen on running Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just departed home filled with a lovely Sunday roast prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to help a gentleman after he filled the wrong fuel in his modified Range Rover Evoque. He was stationed in Headington and so I was with him soon. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I had my mind on other things and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on any kind of harm through running it?" I determined there shouldn't be any damage and also that I'd drain the fuel as soon as possible for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and another satisfied customer was able to continue their ride without any bother. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Oxfordshire that little bit easier for me personally!

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.
