The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty simply.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
