The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

A lady had conked out on a road, Basford just after having misfueled. She was crying and fairly troubled as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car.

Afterwards she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I only just paid for it so it truly horrified me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm really glad that it was so easily fixable."

I appreciated a fantastic day fishing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next day as I was on the way to help a young family who were holidaying in Basford. They had conked out after inserting the wrong fuel into their yellow Chevrolet Silverado, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled while I listened to the lady telling her man off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Shropshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good bye and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We a few weeks ago got a call about a driver who put the incorrect fuel in his bright yellow Honda in Basford. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the issue up until the time it conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning again. I was impressed because of both how fast you were and your rates". Obviously we arrived promptly and purged the engine after draining all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived our engineer said the driver was fuming, but was happy after the fuel drain.

A customer from Basford with her youngsters in her diesel metallic green Mercedes SLK55 AMG had put £50 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She called us weeping and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that everything should be okay and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the little ones in the back."

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 VAT receipt.

  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.
