The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

A young lady had broken down on a road, Cleatlam just after having put petrol in her diesel car. She was weeping and quite troubled as she had put £60 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we made an effort to cool her as best we could, reassuring her that all would be ok. By the time we got to her she was not upset any more and was intrigued in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her trusty Volkswagen.

A woman from Cleatlam with her kids in her diesel friend's Isuzu i-350 had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She called us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what would happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything should be fine and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all.

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 VA 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.
