The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to help an elder lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Mercedes C-Class in Luxted. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and stranded in a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only just got it a week back because my other one, which I had used for in excess of twenty years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Bromley lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Luxted

I am certainly not excessively excited about running on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd just come away from home after eating a lovely lunch made for me by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he put the wrong fuel in his old Renault Alliance. He was only in Luxted and so I was on scene soon. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on stuff and failed to ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of damage through running it?" I revealed generally there should not be damage and also that I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and so another happy motorist had the ability to continue his trip without any subsequent fuss. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Bromley that little bit less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Luxted - Fuel Rescue Luxted

A young lady from Luxted with her kids in her diesel mint green Range Rover Classic had filled her vehicle with £50 of petrol at the filling station. She phoned us sobbing and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all should be ok and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

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.
