The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Clapgate

Now I am not ever so keen on doing work on Sundays, and last week was the same. I had just come away from the family after having a magnificent lunch prepared for me by the missus, and I was off to sort out a gentleman who had filled the incorrect petrol in his beautiful Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG. He was somewhere in Clapgate thus I was on scene rapidly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some harm as a result of running it?" I revealed that generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and also that I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel right away for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and so another delighted client had the ability to continue on his journey without the hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this can make carrying out work on weekends in Hertfordshire a little bit easier to me!

This was most definitely what is called the night shift. It was around 3 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and Ray and I were loafing around perusing a few old articles. It was an unusual calm time in Hertfordshire. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me start! The voice explained: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a rust red Smart Forfour". I instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Clapgate under 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were coming back home we noticed two ladies at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, 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.
