The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been rather quiet so far, and me and Ray were sitting looking through several old newspapers. It was a rare quiet moment in Derbyshire. It was in fact that relaxing that when the phone inevitably rang I leaped! The motorist on the other end told me: "I only just concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in the dark blue Honda Ridgeline by mistake". We got him to tell us where he was and we headed out, reaching him in Apperknowle less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us for coming so rapidly. While we were heading back home we found two young women at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, much 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 VAT 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.
