The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

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.
