The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
