The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel is likely to trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases rather quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We've been called out to quite a few private and commercial properties in Tower Hamlets for the purpose of draining and recycling fuel storages.

It truly was the night shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was about. It was fairly uneventful so far, and Ray and I were sitting around reading a few old papers. That was an unusual restful time in Tower Hamlets. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the other end explained: "I just completed my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in a diesel Ferarri red Peugeot 407". We told him to inform us just where the vehicle was and we left, arriving in Limehouse only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thanks for showing up so promptly. While we were returning to base we saw two young ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre.

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.
