The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

We're able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of any of the standard problems which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were en route to assist an old woman after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic grey Kia Rio in Odcombe. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up in a country lane en route to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel because I'd just got it several days back after my old car, which I used for more than 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Somerset lady!

Therefore, if you've topped up your petrol car with the wrong fuel, or the wrong fuel in your diesel motor vehicle wherever in Somerset, call us now. Our qualified mechanics are available and waiting for you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Odcombe

I'm certainly not so interested in carrying out work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just left the family after having a superb lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a guy after he had filled the wrong petrol in his baby blue Chevrolet Caprice. He was stationed in Odcombe therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I had my mind on other things and failed to ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted some problems as a result of driving it?" I revealed generally there should not be harm and that also I would personally drain the wrong fuel quickly for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and one more contented client could carry on with their ride without difficulty. The guy could not stop thanking me, and that is what helps make earning a living on Sundays in Somerset that tiny bit less painful to 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.
