The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of your garden containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business properties in Shropshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps even several drums in a shed, assuming that we can reach it, we can drain it.

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to help an old lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red Fiat Uno in Handless.

I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she explained, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only just purchased it a week ago right after my former one, which I owned for in excess of 25 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Shropshire woman!

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was about 3am and nobody was stirring. It had become rather dead up to now, and John and I were relaxing looking at some old newspapers. This was an unusual quiet time in Shropshire. It was that calm that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me start! The voice on the phone said: "I've just finished my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the expensive Bentley Continental in error". I asked him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Handless 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said many thanks for getting there so fast. While we were going back to the office we saw two young women at the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their delight.

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.
