The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

What a quality night's sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel father's Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in Stanley Hill. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural road along the way to see her godchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she explained, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only just bought it a few days ago when my other one, which I'd owned for over thirty years, finally died". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Herefordshire woman!

I had a great evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set off to assist a new couple on holiday in Stanley Hill. They had broken down after filling petrol into their trusty Mercedes SL-Class, and the car was around half an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass quite frequently in Herefordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent by his better half. Unlucky chap. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted so long and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
