The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

A rather concerned motorist called us from the BP filling station at Berkshire to tell us that he had put unleaded into his diesel partner's Honda CR-V; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd done it. We assured him it was not a problem and soon had our technician out to him to clean the contaminated fuel from his car. Having removed the incorrect fuel, he was subsequently back on the road. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the technician who appeared to carry out the fuel drain was incredibly very good - he did not make me look and feel like an idiot."

I'd had a terrific evening fishing during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Remenham. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their wife's Fiat Multipla, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing happens all the time in Berkshire and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, but he still got an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove away I shouted goodbye and wondered what my missus would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

We fairly recently had a call about a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his well worn Vauxhall Zafira in Remenham. He had conked out on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the issue up until the time it ground to a halt. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it running . I was impressed by both how fast you were and your price". Obviously we arrived rapidly and flushed the engine after draining the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The customer was smiling again by the time we finished and he went away completely satisfied.

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty uneventful until now, and me and Mark were sitting about reading a few old magazines. This was an uncommon restful moment in Berkshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I just ended my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel mint condition Honda Civic Si in error". I asked him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we left, ending up in Remenham half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were heading back home we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we stopped and helped them change it, much 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.
