The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be totally wet and useless.

They conked out after putting diesel into their cyan Fiat Nuova 500, and they were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I heard to the wife telling off her husband for being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this happens all the time in County Durham and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and considered what my wife would tell me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

I am certainly not overly interested in doing the job on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had just left the family following a lovely Sunday roast prepared by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman because he put the incorrect fuel in his mom's Ford Transit. He was stationed in Toft Hill hence I arrived on scene before long. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my thoughts on other things and didn't realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any kind of damage by simply starting it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and so yet another happy motorist could continue on his trip without any hassle.

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.
