The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important matter to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations very easily.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

A motorist had stopped on a street, Anerley just after having wrong fueled. She was sobbing and fairly distressed as she had put £45 petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we tried to cool her as well as we could, telling her that all would be okay. When we got to her she was no longer upset and was fascinated in watching our technician carry out the fuel drain on her daughter's Toyota FJ Cruiser. Afterwards she said: "My car is akin to my child, I just bought it and it genuinely concerned me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm happy that it was so easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Anerley - Wrong Fuel in Car Anerley

I had enjoyed a perfect evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I headed out to aid a new couple on holiday in Anerley. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel into their blue BMW 1 Series, and were about an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the wife telling off her husband for being so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem occurs continuously in Bromley and that it's nothing at all to fret about, however he in spite of everything had an earful. Poor chap. Anyways, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would ask me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Anerley

Now I'm not so hot for doing work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just left home after having a lovely lunch cooked by the wife, and I was on my way to help a man after he had filled the wrong fuel in his wife's Chrysler Voyager. He was located in Anerley and so I was with him almost immediately. As I drove up right behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I had my attention on something else and didn't grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any damage as a result of starting it?" I said that there probably should not be any problems and that also I would remove the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. As expected I drained the fuel from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and then another contented customer could carry on with their ride without the fuss. The man did not stop thanking me, and that helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Bromley a tiny bit easier for me!

A motorist driving in Anerley phoned us as soon as she managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Nissan 350Z Roadster and, like plenty prior to her, assumed that she could just fill up the car with diesel and it would be no problem. The vehicle was coughing and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired within one hour while she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely happy you fixed my car."

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 VA 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.
