The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

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.
