The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wethersfield

I'm not necessarily that keen on doing work weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids filled with a magnificent Sunday roast cooked by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a fellow after he filled the wrong fuel in his dad's Audi A5. He was only in Wethersfield so it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted problems by running it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also that I'd personally drain the wrong fuel quickly for him. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with some suitable fuel, and so yet another satisfied customer had the ability to carry on with their ride without hassle. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that helps make carrying out work on weekends in Essex just a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

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.
