The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases quite simply.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR7 Postcode - Thornton Heath Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a warm Tuesday and I was en route to help an old lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel black Land Rover Range Rover Sport in Thornton Heath. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I arrived at the location and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only just bought it a week back because my previous car, which I'd owned for more than twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Croydon lady!

A young lady from Thornton Heath with her youngsters in her diesel cream Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She contacted us crying and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything should be alright and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones in the back."

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.
