The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Monday and we were off to assist an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel matte black Peugeot 309 in Salters Heath. I'd been told she had left the filling station and broken down along a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just got it a week back right after my former car, which I used for about 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Hampshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Salters Heath

We carried out a wrong fuel retrieval exercise outside a beautiful residential home in Salters Heath not so long ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and was able to more or less get home when my car cut out." Our technician went out, despite the fact that it was quite late at night, and performed a thorough fuel drain and purge on the work's Mazda B-Series Plus to everyone's satisfaction.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and nobody was around. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and me and Paul were sitting around reading a number of old papers. This was an uncommon tranquil moment in Hampshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that when the telephone ultimately rang it made me start! The person told me: "I've ended my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel rust red Lexus LFA in error". I asked him to inform us where exactly he was and we left, arriving in Salters Heath no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. While we were coming back home we noticed two women at the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
