The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden with out of date, unusable or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Shropshire for the purpose of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

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.
