The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we can gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

We completed a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a spectacular property in Great Wytheford not so long ago.

Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was fairly late at night, and did a full fuel drain and cleanse on the mom's Skoda Citigo to everyone's satisfaction.

This was what we call an unsociable time to be up. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was fairly uneventful thus far, and Paul and I were relaxing reading some old newspapers. This was an unusual peaceful hour in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant my mobile ultimately rang I jumped! The customer on the phone said: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel mom's Hyundai Accent by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we left, ending up in Great Wytheford 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. As we were going back to the depot we saw two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. So we got out to change it, 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.
