The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Meadside

I am not ever excessively excited about doing work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids filled with a superb roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a fellow after he filled the wrong petrol in his clean white Cadillac XLR. He was somewhere in Meadside thus it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise God! I had my concentration on stuff and failed to perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted damage as a result of running it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and that I'd drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another content customer had the ability to continue their journey without fuss. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that can make working on Sundays in Oxfordshire just a small bit less painful to me!

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 3:30 in the morning and noone was stirring. It was rather quiet so far, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing a few old papers. It was an uncommon restful time in Oxfordshire. Actually it was so calm that when my mobile eventually rang I leaped! The customer explained: "I've concluded my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in my friend's Toyota Solara". I got him to let us know where exactly he was situated and we set off, reaching him in Meadside no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back home we saw two young ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we stopped to help them 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.
