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 certainly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations very simply.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Newport - Wrong Fuel in Car Newport

I had a great evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next day as I set out to aid a new couple holidaying in Newport. They had pulled over after filling diesel into their brother's Chevrolet Colorado, and were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal telling her partner off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs constantly in Gloucestershire and that it's truly nothing at all to fret about, but he all the same had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I drained all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd never live it down!

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a beautiful property in Newport a few weeks ago. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to almost reach home when my car broke down."

A woman from Newport with a full car of little ones in her diesel dad's Cadillac XLR had put £45 of petrol at the petrol station. She called us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that the vehicle should be alright and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the children on board."

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.
