The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations quite easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in West Sussex to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a portable bowser, or perhaps several drums in a garage, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

This really was what is called the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was around. It had been pretty dead thus far, and me and Brian were sitting around looking through a number of old newspapers. This was an uncommon peaceful moment in West Sussex. Actually it was so tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the other end said: "I've concluded my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel navy blue BMW 745 by mistake". I asked him to let us know just where the car was situated and we set off, ending up in East Harting less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us for showing up so quickly. As we were coming back home we noticed two girls on the edge of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
