The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very easily.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

I had enjoyed a terrific evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple on vacation in Townsend. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their luxury Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady berating her man for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this problem takes place frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove away I waved farewell and pondered on what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
