The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

They conked out after putting diesel into their well worn Bentley Continental, and the car was approximately an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her man for turning out to be so daft. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him.

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.
