The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Greencroft

Now I'm not actually so excited about working weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just left home filled with a superb Sunday roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a guy who put the incorrect petrol in his cream Chrysler Grand Voyager. He was stationed in Greencroft therefore it wasn't long before I got to him. Just as I drove up at the car and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on something else and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any kind of problems as a result of driving it?" I determined that truth be told there probably should not be problems and that also I'd personally drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible. Obviously I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus another contented motorist was able to carry on with his ride without difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes carrying out work on Sundays in County Durham that tiny bit better for me!

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.
