The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Winnersh (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Berkshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill the car. They will take care of any of the standard problems that might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and we were on the way to help an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel luxury Hyundai Accent in Winnersh. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a country lane en route to see her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I had just acquired it a short while back when my old car, which I owned for over thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Berkshire woman!

A driver from Winnersh with a full car of little ones in her diesel trusty Vauxhall Combo had put £42 of petrol at the BP station.

We reassured her that everything should be okay and that she would be back up and running soon. When we arrived she was still upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
