The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SL5 Postcode - North Ascot Misfueling

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and we were on my way to help an elder lady after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Lexus in North Ascot. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a country road along the way to see her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I had only just got it a few days back after my former one, which I had owned for more than thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the job done and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant Berkshire woman!

A customer from North Ascot with a full car of kids in her diesel sky blue MINI Cooper Clubman had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys station.

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.
