The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to many private and industrial properties in West Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a storage shed, providing we are able to get to it, we could certainly empty it for you.

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I headed out to help a new family who were on holiday in West Kingston. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their dark green Volkswagen GTI, and were about half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I listened to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this goes on on daily basis in West Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still had an earful. Unlucky guy. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would never ever live it down!

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was about sunrise and noone was around. It had become fairly uneventful so far, and Ray and I were sitting looking at a number of old magazines. It was a rare tranquil time in West Sussex. It was indeed so tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang I leaped! The voice explained: "I have only just completed my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in my diesel son's Land Rover Range Rover Evoque". We told him to let us know where exactly he was located and we set off, arriving in West Kingston under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the engine and he said thanks for showing up so fast. As we were going back to the office we noticed two ladies at the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
