The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important issue to address in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Out of Fuel Services

We can easily help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) to refill your car. They will deal with the usual problems that can come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TN21 Postcode - Burlow Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! 7:30 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an older sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel classic Seat Arosa in Burlow. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded along a country road on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd just got it a couple of days back when my other one, which I'd had for in excess of twenty years, finally broke down". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a pleasant East Sussex lady!

Tales from our Burlow employees:

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Burlow

A young person who had recently passed his test had misfueled his beloved BMW Z4 M by putting petrol in his diesel at the service station near Burlow. He said, "This is the third occasion I have put fuel in my vehicle from the time when I bought it and I don't know how to proceed." He was also worried since his dad had just recently paid for the car. He discovered us on the net and so called us right away, scared about what he should do.

This was certainly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had been quite dead thus far, and Brian and I were loafing around reading through a number of old articles. That was an unusual peaceful hour in East Sussex. It was in fact that peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I've just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in the diesel father's Saab 9000". We asked him to let us know where exactly he was and we set off, reaching him in Burlow under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thank you for getting there so promptly. While we were heading back home we spotted two ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
