The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel cyan Peugeot 106 in Helmsley. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and stranded on a country lane on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the destination and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it a short while back because my old one, which I'd owned for more than thirty years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful North Yorkshire woman!

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 VA 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.
