The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

A customer living in Funtington phoned us as soon as she managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver BMW 8 Series and, like countless before her, imagined that she would be able to just fill up her tank with diesel and it'd run okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she arrived at the the front of her office. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed inside an hour or so while she was in the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very relieved you repaired 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.
