The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car South Hetton

Now I am not excessively keen on working weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just left home after eating a fantastic Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his rugged Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. He was situated in South Hetton so I was on scene very quickly. Just as I drove up at the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and did not ascertain I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any damage because of starting it?" I stated that generally there should not be any harm and that also I would personally drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and so yet another happy client was able to continue their ride without fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make earning a living on weekends in County Durham just that small bit easier to 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.
