The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Shepperton

Now I am not actually too interested in running on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from the wife and kids after having a tasty lunch made for us by the better half, and I was off to sort out a man who put the wrong petrol in his pristine BMW 525. He was somewhere in Shepperton hence I was there quickly. As I drove up at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created damage as a result of starting it?" I said generally there shouldn't be any problems and also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained right away. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and then yet another happy motorist could continue his traveling without any subsequent bother. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that can make operating on Sundays in Surrey that little bit less painful to me!

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.
