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 generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

We reassured her that the car would be alright and that she would be back ready to go very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
