The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel creamy white Fiat Bravo in Tilsworth.

I popped her location into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was working she said, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel because I'd just bought it a short while back right after my old one, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Bedfordshire woman!

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and noone was about. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and me and Brian were loafing around looking through a couple of old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet time in Bedfordshire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the moment the phone eventually rang I jumped! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I've finished my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the blue BMW 760 by mistake". I asked him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was located and we set off, reaching him in Tilsworth not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the motor and he thanked us profusely for arriving so rapidly. As we were going back home we found two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
