The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

This was certainly the night shift. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was around. It was pretty uneventful so far, and Ray and I were loafing around looking through a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Northamptonshire. It was that tranquil that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I jumped! The customer on the other end told me: "I only just ended my evening shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in my raspberry red Volkswagen Eurovan". We asked him to let us know just where the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Little Harrowden less than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was removed from the motor. He said thank you for coming out so fast. As we were returning to the depot we spotted two ladies on the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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 VAT 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.
