The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Sheffield Green

Now I'm not ever overly enthusiastic about doing work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd just departed the family after eating a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was off to assist a guy who had filled the wrong fuel in his creamy white Audi A5. He was only in Sheffield Green therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and did not perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused damage by simply driving it?" I explained that generally there probably should not be harm and also that I'd personally remove the fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and thus one more delighted client was able to continue on their traveling without the need for difficulty. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in East Sussex a tiny bit easier for me!

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.
