The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and business properties in Lancashire to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

A young lady from Tunstall with her kids in her diesel apricot Fiat Punto had put £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us weeping and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We told her that all should be ok and that she would be in action very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

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.
