The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very simply.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

I appreciated a great evening golfing during my day off and felt satisfied the next morning as I headed out to aid a new family away in Close House. They had stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their faithful Mitsubishi L300, and were close to an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her husband for being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass constantly in County Durham and that it's actually nothing to get worried about, but he still got his ear bent by his wife. Poor lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if I made the exact same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

He was only in Close House thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty!

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 VA 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.
