The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations very expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close to a car parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NE40 Postcode - Greenside Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were off to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel mate's Volvo C30 in Greenside. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was broken down on a country road en route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only just bought it several days ago after my former one, which I used for in excess of 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious Tyne and Wear woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Tyne and Wear - Petrol in Diesel Car Greenside

I'm not so inclined to working on weekends, and last week was the same. I'd just departed home filled with a tasty dinner made for me by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow after he filled the incorrect petrol in his old Cadillac Escalade ESV. He was somewhere in Greenside thus I arrived on scene very quickly. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on other things and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on harm simply by running it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be any damage and that also I would remove the contaminated fuel immediately. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so another pleased customer had the ability to continue on their traveling without the need for hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Tyne and Wear that little bit easier for me!

General Misfueling Warning signs:

Here's a list of commonplace wrong fuel signs and symptoms:

  • Diminished vehicle power
  • Engine stalling, jumping or even coughing
  • Trouble starting the motor
  • Excessive fumes

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.
