The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very easily.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

A woman from Upper Sydenham with a full car of little ones in her diesel shiny Volvo C70 had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Shell filling station.

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.
