The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

They'd broken down after putting petrol in their aunt's Cadillac XLR-V, and they were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the gal telling her man off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in Norfolk and that it's truly nothing at all to be concerned about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and nobody was about. It had been fairly uneventful up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing a number of old magazines. It was an unusual restful hour in Norfolk. Actually it was indeed so calm that the moment my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end stated: "I have concluded my night shift and incredibly filled petrol in my super Volkswagen Passat by mistake". We got him to let us know where the car was and we left, ending up in Methwold an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back to the depot we spotted two women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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:

    • 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.
