The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HP22 Postcode - Shipton Lee Misfueling

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and we were off to help an older sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Volkswagen Golf III in Shipton Lee. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was broken down along a backwater road en route to see her godchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only just bought it a couple of days ago after my old one, which I owned for over twenty five years, finally stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Buckinghamshire 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.
