The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Happisburgh Common

I'm not actually too hot for running Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just departed home filled with a lovely lunch cooked for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man after he had filled the wrong fuel in his metallic grey Saab 9000. He was located in Happisburgh Common hence it wasn't a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on other stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought about any kind of problems because of running it?" I determined generally there should not be any damage and that I would personally drain the fuel as soon as possible for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and thus yet another satisfied motorist was able to continue his journey without the need for bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what tends to make working on weekends in Norfolk just that little bit better in my opinion!

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.
