The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases rather expediently.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in B97 Postcode - Elcocks Brook Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an elder lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel bright yellow Fiat Punto in Elcocks Brook. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it several days back after my other one, which I used for more than 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain done and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Worcestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Elcocks Brook

I'm not ever that enthusiastic about carrying out work Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just left home after a magnificent roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was en route to assist a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his black Fiat. He was located in Elcocks Brook therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and failed to perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any problems through starting it?" I revealed that there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd get the fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and yet another pleased customer had the ability to continue his ride without any bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that helps make earning a living on weekends in Worcestershire just a small bit easier for me personally!

A woman from Elcocks Brook with a full car of children in her diesel dirty red BMW M5 had put £45 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She phoned us crying and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the car should be fine and that she would be back ready to go very quickly. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the children on board."

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.
