The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CO12 Postcode - Great Oakley Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to help an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel expensive Lexus in Great Oakley. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and stranded on a backwater road on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she said, "I am getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I had only just purchased it a week back right after my other one, which I had for more than 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Essex lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Great Oakley

I'm not actually too inclined to doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left home after having a wonderful roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman after he filled the incorrect fuel in his mustard yellow Skoda Fabia. He was only in Great Oakley hence it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused any kind of damage as a result of running it?" I said there probably should not be any damage and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and another pleased customer was able to carry on with his journey without any bother. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make operating on weekends in Essex just that small bit better in my opinion!

A gentleman who had unfortunately put petrol in his diesel winter grey Mitsubishi Chariot called us for a fuel drain at the Murco petrol filling station in Great Oakley. He had decided to top up before proceeding on to the nearby holiday park . "I put petrol instead of diesel which probably wasn't a good beginning to our holiday." It was really no problem in the least for our technician to go and perform the fuel drain. We hope the family enjoyed their holiday break.

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.
