The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir at the back of your premises full of unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can reach it, we are able to empty it for you.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Paul were sitting about looking at a number of old magazines. This was an uncommon tranquil time in Somerset. Actually it was in fact that quiet that when the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I finished my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in my buff Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG in error". We instructed him to inform us exactly where he was located and we left, getting to him in Knott Oak under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine. He said many thanks for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back to the office we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to change it, 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 VA 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.
