The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to an automobile parking spot we are able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly 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.
