The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

We assured her that the car would be okay and that she would be back up and running quickly.

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.
