The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Sunday and we were en route to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel mom's Toyota Corolla in Winwick. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I had just bought it several days ago after my other car, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful Cheshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Winwick

I am not overly hot for running on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had just departed the family after a fantastic dinner cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to assist a man after he had put the wrong fuel in his burgundy red Mercedes C-Class. He was located in Winwick so it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other things and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some damage through starting it?" I said generally there probably should not be harm and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. Obviously I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus yet another delighted motorist had the ability to continue their trip without any subsequent hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make working on weekends in Cheshire a tiny bit better for me personally!

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty quiet up to now, and Brian and I were loafing reading through several old articles. This was an unusual calm time in Cheshire. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The person on the other end said: "I've only just finished my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel apricot Isuzu Ascender by mistake". We told him to tell us where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Winwick not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly. As we were returning to the office we spotted two ladies at the side of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
