The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to a number of private and commercial properties in Herefordshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR8 Postcode - Coddington Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and we were on the way to help an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel new Kia Sorento in Coddington. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a rural road on route to see her family. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only got it a couple of days ago right after my former one, which I used for in excess of thirty years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Herefordshire lady!

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 3:30am and noone was around. It was pretty dead so far, and Mark and I were sitting around perusing several old papers. That was an unusual restful moment in Herefordshire. Actually it was indeed that calm that the instant the phone rang it made me start! The customer on the other end explained: "I just finished my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a trusty Peugeot Boxer". I instructed him to inform us where the vehicle was and we headed out, ending up in Coddington 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car and he said many thanks for arriving so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we found two young women on the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a puncture. So 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.

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.
