The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

    • 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.
