The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can certainly produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and noone was stirring. It was rather dead up to now, and Ray and I were sitting around looking at a number of old papers. It was a rare restful hour in Suffolk. It was in fact that calm that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end said: "I only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in a daughter's Peugeot 508 in error". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Barking under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thanks for arriving so quickly. While we were going back to base we spotted two girls on the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over 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 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.
