The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Crawleyside

I'm not too excited about working on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had just come away from home after having a magnificent dinner prepared by the wife, and I was on the way to help a man because he filled the wrong petrol in his faithful BMW 6 Series. He was stationed in Crawleyside thus it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I arrived behind the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any damage simply by running it?" I revealed truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and also I'd get the wrong fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and one more delighted customer had the ability to carry on with his ride without fuss. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what tends to make working on weekends in County Durham just that little bit better to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Crawleyside - Fuel Rescue Crawleyside

A customer from Crawleyside with her little ones in her diesel uncle's Audi Q5 had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the filling station. She contacted us crying and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything would be ok and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."

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.
