The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very simply.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
