The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations rather swiftly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL17 Postcode - Mitcheldean Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a warm Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic red Jaguar S-Type in Mitcheldean. I had been advised she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up along a country road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a week back because my previous car, which I'd owned for more than 25 years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Gloucestershire lady!

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2:30 in the morning and nobody was about. It had been pretty dead thus far, and me and Ray were loafing browsing some old articles. It was an unusual restful moment in Gloucestershire. It was indeed that calm that the instant the telephone rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end explained: "I've only just ended my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a diesel daughter's Ford Focus ST". We told him to let us know where exactly the car was situated and we headed out, arriving in Mitcheldean under half an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the engine and he thanked us for getting there so fast. While we were coming back home we noticed two women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to 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 VAT 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.
