The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We can help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home.

They are also able to fix any of the usual problems which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to start, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DL13 Postcode - Sunniside Misfueling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to help an old lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel husband's Daewoo Leganza in Sunniside. I had been told she drove away from the filling station and pulled up along a backwater lane on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just purchased it a short while back after my previous one, which I had used for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely County Durham lady!

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.
