The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fowlmere

We had a phone call from a driver who had put the incorrect fuel in his father's Cadillac Eldorado in Fowlmere. He had broken down on the street. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the quandary till I stopped working. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running once again. I was amazed because of both how fast you were and your charges". It goes without saying that we were on-scene rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our engineer said the client was raging, but was satisfied afterwards.

A motorist employed in Fowlmere phoned us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled petrol in her diesel mint green Mazda929 and, like many people prior to her, thought that she could basically top up the car with diesel and it would run okay. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside one hour whilst she was at the office. She came out later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you sorted my vehicle."

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.
