The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
