The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel Assist Harleston - Wrong Fuel in Car Harleston

I had a perfect day hiking on my holiday and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I set off to assist a new couple who were on holiday in Harleston. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their elegant Mitsubishi Chariot, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this occurs on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.
