The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Kimpton

I'm not actually that inclined to carrying out work Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just departed the family after having a magnificent dinner made for us by the missus, and I was off to assist a fellow after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his cyan Hyundai. He was somewhere in Kimpton therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I arrived at the car and got busy draining he told me "Praise the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on stuff and didn't perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused any kind of harm through starting it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be damage and also that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel immediately for him. As expected I drained the fuel from the car and put in the suitable fuel, and yet another delighted client had the ability to continue their traveling without bother. He did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make earning a living on weekends in Hertfordshire just a tiny bit easier to me!

A motorist employed in Kimpton contacted us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Mercedes-Benz C-Class and, like many people before her, assumed that she would be able to just fill up her tank with diesel and it'd run fine. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she got to the the front of her office. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it sorted within an hour while she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you sorted my vehicle."

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.
