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 or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel rust red Audi Coupe GT in Dunnockshaw. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel because I'd just bought it a week ago after my other one, which I owned for over twenty five years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant Lancashire woman!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly dawn and noone was stirring. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Ray were relaxing reading some old magazines. This was a rare tranquil hour in Lancashire. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The customer stated: "I have only just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in the dark red Audi Coupe Quattro in error". We got him to inform us where he was and we headed out, ending up in Dunnockshaw less than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us for coming out so promptly. As we were returning home we noticed two women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, much 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 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.
