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 definitely a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in S45 Postcode - Astwith Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and I was off to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel metallic green Hyundai Elantra in Astwith. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded along a backwater lane on the way to see her family. I plugged her location into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I reached the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only just got it a few days back right after my previous car, which I had had for in excess of 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Derbyshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Astwith

We a few weeks ago got a call about a driver who had put the incorrect fuel in his apricot Seat Altea in Astwith. He had conked out on the road. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the dilemma up until the time I ground to a halt. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it working once again. I was impressed by both how swift you were and your rates". As you can imagine we were on-scene punctually and purged the engine after flushing all the petrol from the diesel tank. On arrival the fuel drainer said the motorist was scowling, but was grinning his face off when we finished.

A lady from Astwith with her kids in her diesel cyan Volvo S90 had put £45 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us weeping and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."

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.
