The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly expediently.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was off to assist an elder lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mom's Volvo S70 in Hackleton. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and was broken down on a country road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it several days ago when my previous car, which I had had for over 30 years, inevitably died". I completed the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Northamptonshire lady!

I appreciated a fantastic day cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased the following day as I set off to aid a young family who were on vacation in Hackleton. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their maroon Fiat Doblo, and were about half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and laughed as I heard to the lady chastising her partner for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem occurs everyday in Northamptonshire and that it's really nothing to get worried about, however he still got an earful by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I drained all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted so long and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

No one likes breaking down in a car contaminated with the incorrect fuel on the road. Our last customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (bright red Ford Club Wagon) in Hackleton suffered precisely that type of problem: "You probably know that I foolishly put petrol in my diesel car . I was so stressed about my error that I was actually in tears. And yet I shouldn't have worried seeing as you were marvelous in sorting the problem out."

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2am and almost noone was around. It had been quite quiet so far, and me and Paul were sitting about looking through a few old papers. It was an unusual tranquil moment in Northamptonshire. It was indeed so tranquil that the moment the phone rang it made me jump! The person told me: "I have only just completed my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in the diesel mint green Mercedes-Benz E-Class in error". I asked him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, arriving in Hackleton less than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He said thanks for showing up so rapidly. While we were returning to the depot we saw two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a puncture. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
