The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY4 Postcode - Paddolgreen Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on my way to help an elder woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow Range Rover in Paddolgreen. She told us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up in a country lane on route to see her godchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and got there within an hour. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I'd just bought it a few days back because my former car, which I had had for about 30 years, finally died on me". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Shropshire lady!

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.
  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.
