The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations quite simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely 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.

    • 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.
