The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Purley

Now I am not so enthusiastic about doing work Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just departed home filled with a magnificent lunch prepared for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a man who filled the wrong petrol in his metallic silver Hyundai Sonata. He was situated in Purley hence it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and did not perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted some problems as a result of starting it?" I revealed that truth be told there should not be any harm and also that I'd remove the wrong fuel immediately. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and one more satisfied motorist could carry on with their trip without any subsequent difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make operating on weekends in Bexley that little bit less painful in my opinion!

A customer driving in Purley phoned us after she managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel navy blue Hyundai Genesis and, like many before her, assumed that she could just fill the car with diesel and it would be no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed within an hour or so whilst she was at the office. She came out soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad 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.
