The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

It truly was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to dawn and nobody was stirring. It had become pretty quiet up to now, and Paul and I were loafing about browsing a couple of old articles. It was an unusual quiet moment in North Yorkshire. It was in fact so quiet that when the phone rang I leaped! The person on the opposite end stated: "I've just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my matte black Audi RS4". We asked him to tell us exactly where the car was and we headed out, reaching him in Bishopthorpe under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thank you for getting there so quickly. While we were heading back to base we saw two girls on the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
