The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Needham

Now I'm not necessarily so enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after a tasty dinner made for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a guy who had filled the wrong fuel in his brother's Mitsubishi Expo. He was situated in Needham hence it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my mind on stuff and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any kind of damage through driving it?" I said that there should not be any harm and that also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel right away. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and then yet another pleased client was able to carry on with his traveling without the need for fuss. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what can make working on weekends in Norfolk just a little bit less painful for 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.
