The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Sunday and we were on my way to assist an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel silver Mercedes E-Class in Woldingham. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it several days ago because my previous car, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, finally died on me". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Croydon lady!

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.
