The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across 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 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.
