The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite simply.

You should know that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Newtown - Wrong Fuel in Car Newtown

I'd had a wonderful day fishing on my off day and felt delighted the following working day as I set out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Newtown. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their light blue Fiat Panda, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and laughed as I heard to the gal chastising her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this happens all the time in Gloucestershire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he still got his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.
