The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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 VA 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.
