The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases very quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

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.
