The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in S32 Postcode - Calver Sough Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Sunday and we were on the way to help an old sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel cream BMW 7 Series in Calver Sough. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I'd just acquired it a couple of days back when my other car, which I had had for more than twenty years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Derbyshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Calver Sough

Now I'm not ever so excited about running on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just departed the family filled with a wonderful dinner made for me by the better half, and I was en route to help a guy who filled the incorrect petrol in his old Subaru Outback Sport. He was located in Calver Sough hence I was there before long. Just as I arrived right behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on something else and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted any damage because of driving it?" I stated generally there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I would remove the contaminated fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and so one more satisfied customer had the ability to continue on his ride without any hassle. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Derbyshire just that tiny bit less painful in my opinion!

We assured her that the car would be alright and that she would be back on the road soon.

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.
