The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

What a good night of sleep! 7:30 on a bright Saturday and we were en route to assist an elder woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white VW Fox in East Grinstead. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a few days ago right after my other one, which I had for over 25 years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a pleasant West Sussex woman!

We got a phone call from a gentleman whose old Kia Sportage had broken down on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I mixed up the pumps and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my car by mistake. These guys arrived and fixed the situation when my car gave up." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system completely afterwards and the driver was able to continue with his deliveries.

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was about 3am and almost noone was around. It had become rather quiet so far, and Brian and I were relaxing looking at a couple of old articles. It was an uncommon restful hour in West Sussex. It was indeed so calm that the instant the phone finally rang I leaped! The motorist on the phone stated: "I have just finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in my diesel metallic yellow Mercedes CLS-Class by mistake". We told him to let us know just where he was and we left, ending up in East Grinstead not as much as half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were coming back to the office we found two young women on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
