The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

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.
