The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances rather easily.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

I'd had a wonderful day fishing during my off day and was feeling pleased the following morning as I set out to assist a new couple on vacation in Longham. They had stopped after putting diesel in their boss' Mitsubishi Excel, and were around an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl berating her partner for being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place all the time in Dorset and that it is absolutely nothing to fret about, but he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed good bye and considered what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd 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.
