The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases pretty easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank lying in the back of your garden containing unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and industrial properties in Greater Manchester to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

No matter if the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or even some containers in a shed, providing we are able to reach it, we could certainly drain it.

A woman from Harrop Dale with her kids in her diesel khaki green Seat Ibiza had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She contacted us crying and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that everything would be fine and that she would be ready to go soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined.

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 VA 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.
