The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

We can easily help to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home.

They are also able to deal with the common problems that might go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

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.
