The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel rugged Land Rover Defender 110 in Kings Stanley. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and pulled up on a rural road along the way to see her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes.

I got the job done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Gloucestershire woman!

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Kings Stanley. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their dark blue Smart Fortwo, and were approximately an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal chastising her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. At any rate, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!

This was exactly what we call the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and almost noone was about. It had become rather dead up to now, and me and Mark were sitting looking through a number of old papers. This was an uncommon restful time in Gloucestershire. It was indeed so tranquil that the instant the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The person told me: "I have only just completed my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my dark green Suzuki Kizashi in error". I instructed him to tell us just where he was and we headed out, ending up in Kings Stanley no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were coming back home we noticed two young women on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
