The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Elmsett - Wrong Fuel in Car Elmsett

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next day as I was en route to assist a young family vacationing in Elmsett. They had stopped after putting diesel into their aunt's Lexus IS-F, and the car was close to an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Suffolk and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved good-bye and thought about what my wife would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever 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.
