The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

This was the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was around. It was quite dead so far, and Paul and I were loafing about perusing several old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Barnet. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end told me: "I've concluded my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel elegant Bentley Continental". I told him to inform us where he was situated and we hit the road, reaching him in Childs Hill not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming so fast. As we were going back home we spotted two girls at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. So we got out and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
