The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Now I'm not ever too inclined to doing work on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just departed the family after a superb lunch made by the better half, and I was on my way to help a man who put the incorrect fuel in his expensive Mercedes R-Class. He was stationed in Birchwood thus it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other stuff and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some damage as a result of running it?" I explained that there probably should not be any harm and that I'd remove the contaminated fuel immediately. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another contented customer could continue their trip without the hassle. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that can make carrying out work on weekends in Somerset a little bit better for me personally!

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.
