The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

I had enjoyed a fantastic day hiking on my holiday and was feeling pleased the following working day as I headed out to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Ridgeway Cross. They pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel into their brother's Volkswagen Golf, and were around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I listened to the girl berating her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing goes on on a regular basis in Herefordshire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Regardless if you're in a brand-new vehicle or an old design, we have the tools along with know-how to fix the difficulty right there. We take out all the wrong fuel, resolve any problems caused as a result of the misfueling, and get you going.

A young lady working in Ridgeway Cross contacted us as soon as she had managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel metallic silver Vauxhall Combo and, like many people before her, believed that she would be able to just fill up the tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and got it resolved in an hour whilst she was at the office.

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.
