It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were seated there talking over the sports, ready for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Highley and filled petrol in a diesel blue Nissan Leaf rental. The unfortunate lady was very affected apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and much less concerned. A job in Shropshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations fairly expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Got a fuel tank sitting in the rear of the garden full of out of date, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and industrial properties in Shropshire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Highley - Wrong Fuel in Car Highley

I'd had a great evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling pleased the following day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were holidaying in Highley. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their dark green Cadillac Escalade ESV, and they were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem occurs everyday in Shropshire and that it's nothing to worry about, however he still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and considered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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.
