The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both situations rather swiftly.

Take note that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to several private and industrial properties in Leicestershire to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Drayton

I am not very inclined to doing the job on weekends, and the other day was no different. I had only just departed home following a fantastic lunch prepared by the better half, and I was on my way to sort out a man who filled the wrong fuel in his teal Ford Focus. He was located in Drayton hence it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other considerations and did not grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of problems because of driving it?" I explained there should not be any problems and also that I'd personally remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and another delighted customer had the ability to continue his ride with no fuss. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make working on Sundays in Leicestershire a little bit less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Drayton - Fuel Rescue Drayton

A customer from Drayton with a full car of little ones in her diesel mint green Mercedes CLS-Class had put £42 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we got there she was still upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters 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 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.
