The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked close to parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We have completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in N12 Postcode - Woodside Park Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was on the way to help an older woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel clean white Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Woodside Park. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural road on the way to see her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I had just bought it a few days back when my previous one, which I had owned for about thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. Such a pleasant Barnet woman!

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.
