The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the technician who came out to perform the fuel drain was really pleasant - he did not make me look like a plonker."

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.
