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, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations very expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to quite a few privately owned and business premises in Hertfordshire to deal with removing and disposing of fuel storages.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and nobody was around. It had been rather uneventful until now, and Ray and I were loafing looking through several old articles. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Hertfordshire. Actually it was so tranquil that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I only just finished my night shift and incredibly put petrol in the white Mazda B-Series by mistake". I got him to inform us just where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Hogpits Bottom less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car and he said many thanks for getting there so rapidly. While we were heading back home we spotted two girls at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
