The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Run out of fuel in Coundon (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive County Durham Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to refill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the normal issues that might accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and we were on my way to help an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel apple green Mitsubishi 3000GT in Coundon. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only got it a week ago when my former one, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant County Durham lady!

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.
