The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations quite easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Freshbrook

Now I'm not actually so enthusiastic about working weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after a fantastic lunch cooked by the better half, and I was off to help a gentleman because he put the incorrect fuel in his sombre grey Suzuki Reno. He was stationed in Freshbrook and so I arrived on scene rapidly. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my mind on stuff and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about harm because of starting it?" I said there shouldn't be any damage and also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I drained the fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so yet another happy client had the ability to continue on their ride with no bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on weekends in Wiltshire that little better in my opinion!

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.
