The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

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:

    • 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.
