The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was around 3:30am and noone was about. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and Ray and I were loafing around reading through a couple of old newspapers. This was a rare quiet moment in Gloucestershire. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the instant the telephone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer said: "I've completed my evening shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a grey Volkswagen GTI by mistake". I asked him to inform us just where he was and we headed out, arriving in Stumps Cross under half an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming out so promptly. As we were going back home we found two women at the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
