The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking spot we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

This was exactly the night shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and Mark were loafing about reading a number of old magazines. That was an uncommon tranquil hour in Essex. Actually it was that quiet that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I leaped! The customer said: "I've just finished my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in a sky blue Peugeot 107 by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, getting to him in Tower Hill not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming out so fast. As we were heading back to the office we saw two ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
