The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I got her location plugged in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I reached the car and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she explained, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I had only just got it a few days ago after my former car, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Berkshire woman!

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.
