The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may well produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases very quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in S42 Postcode - Hollins Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and we were on my way to assist an elder woman who put petrol in her diesel daughter's VW Beetle in Hollins. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a country lane en route to visit her godchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only bought it several days ago because my other one, which I owned for about twenty five years, eventually broke down". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Derbyshire 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 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.
