The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RG9 Postcode - Russells Water Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel beloved Chevrolet Camaro in Russells Water. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up on a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a short while ago because my other car, which I had had for in excess of 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a precious Oxfordshire 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 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.
