The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations quite swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Now I am not too keen on working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids following a wonderful roast cooked by the wife, and I was en route to deal with a guy who filled the wrong fuel in his mint condition Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class. He was stationed in Grayshott hence it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my concentration on other stuff and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some damage as a result of starting it?" I said truth be told there should not be any kind of problems and that I would drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and yet another satisfied customer was able to continue on their traveling without the hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on weekends in Hampshire a little easier in my opinion!
