The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an older sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel brand new Peugeot 107 in Holmesfield. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location in the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it a short while ago right after my old one, which I had for about twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Derbyshire woman!

We handle your motor vehicle through our full licencing and insurance protection. We can deal with virtually all automobile designs without regard for whether they have been started on the incorrect fuel or just misfueled.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Holmesfield

I'm certainly not excessively keen on running on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids after a wonderful roast made for me by the missus, and I was off to sort out a guy after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his boss' Alfa Romeo164. He was somewhere in Holmesfield thus it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my mind on something else and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted harm through driving it?" I stated generally there shouldn't be any problems and that also I'd remove the fuel right away. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then another content customer could carry on with his trip without bother. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Derbyshire just a small bit easier for me!

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.
