The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL20 Postcode - Claydon Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and I was off to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel pristine Volkswagen GTI in Claydon. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only bought it several days ago when my former one, which I used for more than 30 years, inevitably died". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Gloucestershire lady!

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.
