The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite simply.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was around 2am and hardly anyone was around. It was quite uneventful until now, and me and John were sitting about looking at several old articles. That was a rare peaceful moment in Northamptonshire. It was indeed so calm that the moment the phone finally rang it made me start! The person told me: "I just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in a sunflower yellow VW Golf III by mistake". I got him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was situated and we left, getting to him in Overstone only half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thank you for showing up so promptly. While we were heading back home we noticed two ladies at the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
