The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in EN9 Postcode - Harknetts Gate Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and I was on the way to help an elder woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel light green Fiat Scudo in Harknetts Gate. I had been told she drove away from the filling station and stranded along a country road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only bought it several days ago after my former one, which I had had for about 30 years, inevitably died on me". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Essex woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Harknetts Gate - Wrong Fuel in Car Harknetts Gate

I had a fantastic evening hiking on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new couple vacationing in Harknetts Gate. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their bright red Honda Ridgeline, and were close to an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling off her man for actually being so daft. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in Essex and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful by his missus. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I drained out all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Harknetts Gate

I'm not overly keen on working Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just departed home filled with a magnificent Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a fellow after he had put the wrong fuel in his husband's Honda CR-X. He was stationed in Harknetts Gate therefore I arrived there soon. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused any kind of problems simply by starting it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be harm and that also I would get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus another satisfied motorist was able to carry on with their ride without any subsequent fuss. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and that tends to make operating on Sundays in Essex that little easier for me!

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.
