The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Pett

Now I am not actually overly excited about doing work weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just departed home following a fantastic lunch prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman after he put the incorrect petrol in his apricot Volkswagen. He was stationed in Pett therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any damage simply by starting it?" I determined that there probably should not be problems and that I would get the wrong fuel drained quickly. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and then another delighted client had the ability to continue his ride without any subsequent fuss. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes operating on weekends in East Sussex a little better for me personally!

This was most definitely the night shift. It was about 3am and nobody was stirring. It was fairly uneventful so far, and me and John were relaxing reading through a few old articles. It was an unusual restful time in East Sussex. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the moment the phone rang I jumped! The customer stated: "I've just completed my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a gorgeous BMW M". We instructed him to tell us where he was and we set off, getting to him in Pett less than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the engine. He thanked us for showing up so rapidly. While we were heading back to the office we noticed two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we got out and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
