The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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.
