The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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.

    • 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.
