It was just before ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated discussing the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. In due time we received a call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Burpham and filled petrol in her diesel baby blue Hyundai Genesis Coupe rental car in error. She was somewhat distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and not so anxious. A job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank at the rear of the garden with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial premises in Surrey to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of drums in a storage shed, provided that we are able to get to it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally 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.
