The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

I had a terrific evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next day as I headed out to aid a new couple who were away in Upshire. They had stopped after putting diesel in their silver Mazda B2500, and were around half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so stupid. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation happens quite frequently in Essex and that it's really nothing to worry about, even so he still had an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Now I am not ever very excited about running on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had only just departed home filled with a fantastic Sunday roast cooked by the missus, and I was off to assist a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his winter grey Kia Sephia. He was only in Upshire and so I arrived on scene soon. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on other considerations and did not realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any damage through driving it?" I determined that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also I would personally remove the wrong fuel as soon as possible. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and so another content client was able to carry on with his ride without the hassle. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Essex just that tiny bit easier in my opinion!

A woman from Upshire with her kids in her diesel new Land Rover had put £20 of petrol at the BP filling station. She phoned us weeping and extremely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what would happen to her car . We assured her that all should be alright and that she would be back ready to go very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the youngsters 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.
