The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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 VA 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.
