The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

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:

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
