The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel may produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations quite swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

A gentleman called us from his home on a road in Whittlesey. He pronounced, "My car (a modern Mercedes-Benz M-Class) is not running and is creating terrible noises when I turn the key."

We carried out a wrong fuel removal job outside a lovely house in Whittlesey not so long ago. "I put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to very nearly reach home when my car stopped."

A lady from Whittlesey with a full car of kids in her diesel modified Alfa Romeo Spider had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the service station. She phoned us sobbing and really distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car should be alright and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the kids in the back."

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.
