The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank at the rear of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Wiltshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is a subterranean reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps numerous drums in a shed, if we are able to get to it, we can drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases very easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and we were on the way to assist an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel bright red Mazda B2600 in Knapp. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded on a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she said to me, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only bought it a week back when my former car, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Wiltshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Knapp

Imagine breaking down in a vehicle with the improper fuel halfway down the road. We had a customer who put contaminated fuel in her car (cobalt blue Mazda626) in Knapp suffered from exactly this kind of problem: "You may already know that I incorrectly filled my petrol car with diesel . I was so upset about my error that I was in tears. But I needn't have worried as you were fantastic in draining and cleaning my car."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Knapp - Fuel Rescue Knapp

A customer from Knapp with her little ones in her diesel mum's Honda Civic Si had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the station. She phoned us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that all should be ok and that she would be back ready to go very quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

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.
