The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases quite simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DL14 Postcode - Coundon Grange Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an older lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel faithful Land Rover Defender 90 in Coundon Grange. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded in a rural road en route to see her godchildren. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I got to the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a few days ago after my old one, which I owned for in excess of thirty years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely County Durham lady!

This was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty dead so far, and John and I were sitting about looking at a number of old magazines. It was an uncommon tranquil hour in County Durham. It was indeed that calm that the instant my mobile eventually rang I leaped! The person stated: "I have finished my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in a sky blue BMW 550 in error". I told him to let us know exactly where the car was located and we headed out, ending up in Coundon Grange only an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine. He thanked us for arriving so fast. While we were returning to base we found two young women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled over to help them change it, much 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 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.
