It was after seven pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were sitting talking about the recent golf, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Westonwharf and filled petrol in her diesel rust red Volkswagen Scirocco rental. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from us, we could find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank placed at the back of the garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Shropshire to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even numerous drums in a storage shed, providing we can get to it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations rather swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

This was certainly what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was around 3am and almost noone was around. It had become quite uneventful up to now, and me and Mark were loafing browsing some old newspapers. That was an uncommon calm moment in Shropshire. It was in fact so quiet that when the phone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I have ended my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my clean white VW Tiguan by mistake". We got him to inform us just where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Westonwharf no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us for coming so rapidly. As we were heading back to the depot we spotted two women at the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
