The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very simply.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated near to an automobile parking spot we can gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Barlake

I am certainly not too keen on doing the job on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had just departed home after eating a wonderful roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a guy who put the wrong fuel in his modified Volvo S60. He was somewhere in Barlake and so I was there quickly. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any harm as a result of driving it?" I revealed truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel at once. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and thus another content customer was able to carry on with his ride without the difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Somerset that little less painful for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Barlake - Fuel Rescue Barlake

A customer from Barlake with a full car of little ones in her diesel dark blue Kia Soul had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She contacted us sobbing and very worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that all should be okay and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the kids on board."

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 VA 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.
