The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations rather simply.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

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.
