The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to numerous private and business properties in Suffolk to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in IP19 Postcode - Rumburgh Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Monday and we were en route to assist an older sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Peugeot 207 in Rumburgh. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only bought it a short while back after my old one, which I had used for more than twenty five years, eventually broke down". I completed the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Suffolk lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Rumburgh - Wrong Fuel in Car Rumburgh

I appreciated a terrific day hiking during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next day as I was en route to assist a new family away in Rumburgh. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their gorgeous Volkswagen, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens continuously in Suffolk and that it is nothing to fret about, and yet he still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.
