The unfortunate lady was rather distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

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.
