The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Cornforth

I'm not necessarily excessively hot for working weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the family following a fantastic roast made for us by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his winter grey Dodge Colt. He was somewhere in Cornforth thus I was with him very quickly. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any damage through driving it?" I explained that truth be told there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and one more content motorist was able to carry on with his traveling without any subsequent hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes earning a living on weekends in County Durham that little bit easier to me!

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.
