The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the back of your garden full of unwanted, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business premises in Lincolnshire to deal with taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several drums in a storage shed, assuming that we are able to reach it, we can empty it.

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.
