The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking spot we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

A young lady from Latchingdon with a full car of little ones in her diesel burgundy red Volvo850 had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what would happen to her car because of it. We told her that everything should be okay and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Specifically with the children on board."

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.
