The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Langham - Fuel Rescue Langham

This was what is called the night shift. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was about. It was quite uneventful so far, and me and Mark were loafing browsing a number of old papers. This was an unusual quiet moment in Dorset. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant my mobile rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end stated: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright white Isuzu i-Series". We got him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Langham no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. While we were returning home we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a puncture. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, much to their elation.

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.
