The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OL2 Postcode - Low Crompton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! 7:30 on a bright Saturday and we were on my way to help an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel dirty red Peugeot 306 in Low Crompton. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel as I had only just acquired it a few days back because my previous car, which I had owned for over twenty five years, eventually broke down". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Greater Manchester lady!

We are thoroughly licenced and covered and so you understand your vehicle is in secure hands. Whether you are running an ancient banger or a new high end vehicle we can help.

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Low Crompton

I'm certainly not that interested in carrying out work on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had just left the wife and kids after a lovely Sunday roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was on my way to help a fellow because he put the wrong petrol in his metallic silver Mitsubishi Lancer. He was located in Low Crompton and so it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and did not realise I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of damage through running it?" I stated that there should not be any kind of harm and also that I would remove the wrong fuel at once. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and thus one more happy customer was able to continue on their journey without fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what can make earning a living on Sundays in Greater Manchester just a little bit easier in my opinion!

A customer driving in Low Crompton phoned us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had put petrol in her diesel matte black Jeep Grand Cherokee and, like plenty before her, thought that she could just fill up her vehicle with diesel and it would be no problem. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the the front of her office. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved inside an hour or so whilst she was in the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely glad you sorted my vehicle."

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 VA 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.
