The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling cheerful the following morning as I headed out to aid a new couple on vacation in Lackford. They'd stopped after filling diesel into their yellow Volvo S70, and were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smiled as I listened to the gal telling off her partner for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs on a regular basis in Suffolk and that it's actually nothing at all to stress about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
