It was before 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Trentham and filled petrol in a diesel sky blue Toyota Sequoia hire car. She was rather affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was only a few miles from the office, we could get to the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir lying at the rear of the garden full of old, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of private and commercial premises in Staffordshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in a storage shed, if we can access it, we can certainly empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
