The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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 VA 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.
