The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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:

    • 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.

  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.
