The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

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:

    • 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.
