The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a backwater road en route to visit her family. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only purchased it a couple of days ago right after my old one, which I used for over twenty years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Berkshire lady!

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
