The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases very swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to access the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Wednesday and I was en route to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel buff Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Galgate. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a couple of days ago when my other car, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, finally died". I finished the job and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a lovely Lancashire lady!

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.
