The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container at the back of your premises containing aged, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and business properties in Suffolk to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a mobile bowser, or possibly even some drums in a shed, provided that we can get to it, we can empty it for you.

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.
