The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances very easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking bay we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in PE32 Postcode - Litcham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Saturday and we were en route to help an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel deep grey Mercedes SLK55 AMG in Litcham. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a backwater lane along the way to visit her family. I plugged her location into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had just bought it a short while back because my former car, which I'd used for over 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Norfolk woman!

A gentleman had conked out just off a street in Litcham. His uncle's Volkswagen GTI motor had ceased operating and he had no clue what was the problem until eventually he realised he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he said to us: "I cannot believe that I did not comprehend that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten no rest the night before and that could have been why.

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.
