The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
