The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

We have been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in County Durham for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

This was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had become quite dead up to now, and me and Ryan were loafing about reading several old articles. That was an uncommon restful moment in County Durham. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the instant the phone inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The customer told me: "I have just ended my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel uncle's Nissan Cube". We got him to inform us where the car was and we hit the road, getting to him in Tan Hills less than an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were going back to the office we found two ladies at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
