The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases very swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CV35 Postcode - Pillerton Priors Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to assist an old woman who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel burgundy red Volkswagen GLI in Pillerton Priors. She told us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up along a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it several days back when my previous one, which I had used for about twenty years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Warwickshire lady!

I had enjoyed a perfect day cycling on my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I set out to assist a new couple holidaying in Pillerton Priors. They had broken down after adding diesel into their faithful Peugeot 3008, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady chastising her spouse for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem happens on a regular basis in Warwickshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
