The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases very expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

They'd conked out after filling petrol in their mint condition Chevrolet Camaro, and they were around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling off her husband for being so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in County Durham and that it's truly nothing to worry about, even so he still had an ear bashing by his better half.

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:

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

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.
