The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
