She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Cowhill

Now I'm certainly not so excited about working on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids after eating a tasty roast cooked by the better half, and I was off to assist a gentleman who put the incorrect petrol in his mom's Hyundai Entourage. He was somewhere in Cowhill therefore I arrived there almost immediately. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my mind on other considerations and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on damage as a result of driving it?" I said that there probably should not be any kind of damage and also that I would personally remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and yet another pleased motorist could carry on with his traveling without the hassle. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that tends to make carrying out work on Sundays in Derbyshire just a tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.
