The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Twinhoe - Wrong Fuel in Car Twinhoe

I'd had a great afternoon golfing during my off day and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I headed out to assist a young family away in Twinhoe. They had broken down after inserting petrol in their metallic yellow Mitsubishi Chariot, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and smiled while I heard to the gal telling off her man for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs everyday in Somerset and that it's really nothing to get worried about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
