The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Yate - Fuel Rescue Yate

A driver from Yate with her youngsters in her diesel aunt's Mitsubishi Lancer had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Shell service station. She contacted us sobbing and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that all would be okay and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the little ones in the back."

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.
