The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden containing aged, unusable or contaminated fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and business premises in Dorset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gillingham - Wrong Fuel in Car Gillingham

I'd had a terrific evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following day as I set off to assist a new couple who were vacationing in Gillingham. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their teal Volkswagen Jetta, and the car was approximately an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked as I heard to the woman chastising her partner for actually being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs everyday in Dorset and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my wife would say to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Gillingham

Now I am not that enthusiastic about carrying out work Sundays, and last week was no different. I had only just left the wife and kids following a tasty lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman because he put the incorrect petrol in his canary yellow Honda. He was situated in Gillingham thus it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my thoughts on something else and failed to realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any harm as a result of driving it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that I would personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another happy client was able to continue his ride with no bother. He did not stop thanking me, and that is what makes working on Sundays in Dorset that little bit less painful 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 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.
