The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases rather quickly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Easby

Now I'm not ever overly enthusiastic about doing the job weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just left the wife and kids after a superb lunch made for us by the better half, and I was off to help a man after he had put the incorrect petrol in his customised Peugeot 407. He was located in Easby and so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and didn't ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any kind of damage by driving it?" I explained there should not be any problems and also I would drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Obviously I drained the fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and so yet another pleased motorist could continue their journey without the need for difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make working on weekends in North Yorkshire just a tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.
