The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

It truly was an unsociable time to be up. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become pretty quiet so far, and John and I were relaxing looking through a number of old magazines. This was an uncommon tranquil time in Lincolnshire. It was that relaxing that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me start! The voice explained: "I've completed my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the metallic blue Cadillac XLR in error". I asked him to inform us where he was and we left, ending up in Woodhall Spa half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He said thank you for showing up so promptly. As we were returning to the office we found two young women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
