The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir laying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Staffordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even numerous containers in a storage shed, provided that we can access it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
