The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

We can easily come to refill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ramsbottom - Fuel Rescue Ramsbottom

This really was what is called the night shift. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and me and Mark were sitting browsing several old papers. That was an uncommon restful hour in Greater Manchester. Actually it was so peaceful that when the telephone finally rang I jumped! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I ended my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in the red Mercedes Sprinter by mistake". We told him to let us know where exactly the car was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Ramsbottom less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming so rapidly. As we were heading back home we found two women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, much 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 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.
