The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Northumberland - Petrol in Diesel Car Melkridge

Now I'm not necessarily excessively hot for doing work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids following a tasty roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow who filled the wrong fuel in his bright red Land Rover Range Rover Classic. He was somewhere in Melkridge hence it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on other considerations and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any damage because of starting it?" I said that there shouldn't be any damage and also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel quickly. Needless to say I drained the fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and so yet another happy motorist was able to continue on their trip with no fuss. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that can make operating on Sundays in Northumberland a little better 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.
