She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably often happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container in the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Staffordshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to get to it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

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.
