The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations quite expediently.

Remember though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LE4 Postcode - Belgrave Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Tuesday and we were on my way to help an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel yellow Toyota FJ Cruiser in Belgrave. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up in a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I reached the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I had only just got it a couple of days ago after my other one, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Leicestershire woman!

We recently got a call from a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his work's Honda Accord in Belgrave. He had ground to a halt on the street. "It was incredible how rapid you were in sending somebody out to help me when I foolishly put the wrong fuel in my. Thank you so much". Needless to say we showed up punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank.

This really was an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were loafing browsing some old magazines. This was an unusual restful moment in Leicestershire. Actually it was so peaceful that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone said: "I just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel dirty red Audi Coupe Quattro in error". I instructed him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we hit the road, arriving in Belgrave only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. As we were going back to the depot we saw two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, much 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.
