The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

This was exactly what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly 3:30am and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were sitting around looking through a few old magazines. That was an unusual tranquil time in City of London. It was that relaxing that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I have ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel gorgeous Volvo XC90". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Barnehurst less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the motor and he said thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were heading back home we found two young women on the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to 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.
