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 usually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LA2 Postcode - Ortner Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to help an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic silver Citron Zara in Ortner. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a rural lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged her location in the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a short while back after my previous one, which I'd used for more than 25 years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Lancashire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Ortner - Wrong Fuel in Car Ortner

I had a fantastic evening golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling pleased the next day as I set out to assist a young couple who were away in Ortner. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their bright yellow Kia Spectra, and were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman berating her partner for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on regularly in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I would personally never 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.
