The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Greenham

I am not actually excessively enthusiastic about working on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just left the wife and kids filled with a tasty dinner made for us by the wife, and I was en route to assist a man who had put the wrong petrol in his red Vauxhall Bedford. He was somewhere in Greenham hence it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on something else and failed to grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any problems through starting it?" I explained truth be told there probably should not be any kind of problems and that also I'd remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. As expected I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and yet another contented client was able to continue on their trip without the fuss. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Dorset just a small bit less painful for me personally!

A motorist driving in Greenham called us after she had managed to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled petrol in her diesel racing green VW Jetta and, like countless prior to her, assumed that she would be able to simply top up her tank with diesel and it would be fine. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it resolved within 60 minutes while she was at work. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely glad you fixed my car."

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.
