The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to parking spot we can access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in ST21 Postcode - Walford Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to assist an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel creamy white Vauxhall Insignia in Walford. She informed us that she had left the filling station and broken down on a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she explained, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd only acquired it a few days ago when my old one, which I'd used for more than 30 years, finally broke down". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Staffordshire lady!

It can't be nice grinding to a halt in a automobile contaminated with the incorrect fuel halfway down the road. Recently a customer who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (mustard yellow Mitsubishi Precis) in Walford ran into exactly this type of dilemma: "WrongFuelSOS.com's man got my vehicle from the road. He drained it and had it running once again within a half hour. Couldn't recommend you more."

A motorist working in Walford phoned us shortly after she had managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel teal Peugeot 2008 and, like many prior to her, thought that she would be able to just fill up her car with diesel and it would run okay. The engine was chugging and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved in one hour while she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you sorted my car."

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.
