The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and we were on the way to assist an old lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Mazda MX-6 in Hathershaw. She informed us that she had left the filling station and was stranded in a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel since I had only purchased it several days ago right after my previous car, which I owned for more than twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. Such a delightful Greater Manchester lady!

This was exactly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 2am and noone was about. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Brian were relaxing reading some old magazines. That was a rare restful hour in Greater Manchester. It was that calm that the instant the phone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist explained: "I just completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the dad's Citron Zara". We told him to inform us just where the car was located and we set off, arriving in Hathershaw half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. While we were heading back home we saw two young ladies at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. So we got out to change it, much 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.

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.
