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 serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

They are also able to handle the standard troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

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.
