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, can be an important situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather swiftly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had been quite uneventful thus far, and me and Ryan were relaxing reading some old newspapers. That was an unusual quiet hour in Southwark. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when the telephone inevitably rang I leaped! The motorist on the other end stated: "I only just completed my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel sombre grey Nissan Pathfinder in error". We asked him to let us know where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Nunhead under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor. He said many thanks for coming so fast.

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.
