The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
