The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite simply.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car The Dene

I'm certainly not overly inclined to doing the job weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just left the family following a fantastic lunch cooked by the missus, and I was off to deal with a guy after he put the wrong fuel in his metallic grey Fiat Multipla. He was situated in The Dene and so I arrived with him quickly. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and didn't grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any harm by driving it?" I stated that truth be told there should not be any kind of harm and that also I would get the fuel drained as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and another delighted client was able to carry on with their trip without any fuss. He could not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes working on weekends in County Durham a tiny bit less painful 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.
