The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

They conked out after putting petrol into their luxury Dodge Avenger, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling off her man for actually being so daft. "How could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on regularly in Derbyshire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and pondered on what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the very same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

He was somewhere in Alfreton hence it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God!

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.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.
