The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SN8 Postcode - West Stowell Misfueling

What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Sunday and I was on the way to help an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel raspberry red VW Eurovan in West Stowell. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a country road en route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only purchased it a week back after my other car, which I owned for in excess of 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a delightful Wiltshire woman!

We hold full Environment Agency registration and full Liability insurance for your own personal reassurance. Because of around 150 years of total wrong fuel drain experience we know just how to have the job completed - no mess, no fuss.

A customer had broken down just off a street in West Stowell. His pristine Volvo960 motor had stopped working and he had no clue what was faulty until he realised he put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He phoned us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He claimed that he had got absolutely no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason.

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.
