The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir in the rear of the garden containing old, useless or contaminated fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to quite a few private and commercial premises in Bristol to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of drums in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Coombe Dingle

I'm not so enthusiastic about doing work weekends, and last week was the same. I'd just left the family after a superb Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man after he put the wrong petrol in his navy blue Nissan Murano. He was situated in Coombe Dingle thus I arrived there soon. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise God! I had my mind on stuff and failed to ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about any problems as a result of driving it?" I stated that there probably should not be any kind of harm and also I'd get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and yet another contented customer had the ability to continue on his ride with no fuss. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and this can make working on Sundays in Bristol just that small bit easier to me!

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30am and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather quiet up to now, and me and Brian were loafing about reading through several old newspapers. That was an unusual quiet moment in Bristol. It was that relaxing that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I've just finished my night shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in a bright red Jeep Compass by mistake". I asked him to tell us where he was situated and we left, getting to him in Coombe Dingle not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thank you for getting there so fast. While we were returning home we saw two young women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to change it, 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.
