The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

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.
