The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

It truly was what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to dawn and noone was around. It had become fairly dead up to now, and Ryan and I were loafing reading through a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil time in Cheshire. It was indeed that calm that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The customer stated: "I've just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in my mint condition BMW X5 M by mistake". We instructed him to let us know exactly where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Daresbury under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us for coming out so quickly. As we were coming back to the office we spotted two girls at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. So we got out 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.
