The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Mythop

I'm not that keen on running weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just left home filled with a lovely Sunday roast made by the wife, and I was off to assist a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his sombre grey Mitsubishi Eclipse. He was stationed in Mythop so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my thoughts on other considerations and did not perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created damage because of running it?" I explained generally there probably should not be damage and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and thus one more happy client could continue their journey without any subsequent difficulty. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make working on Sundays in Lancashire just that little bit easier for me personally!

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.
