The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite quickly.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
