The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Paddington

It must be horrible conking out in a car filled with the wrong fuel halfway down the street. Our most recent customer who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (rust red Kia Soul) in Paddington ran into exactly that kind of trouble: "WrongFuelSOS.com's engineer moved my vehicle from the road. He fixed it and had it functioning once again within just twenty-five minutes. Couldn't recommend you more."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Paddington - Fuel Rescue Paddington

It truly was an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly sunrise and noone was stirring. It had been rather dead so far, and me and Ryan were relaxing perusing a couple of old newspapers. That was an unusual quiet moment in Westminster. It was indeed so quiet that the moment my mobile rang I leaped! The voice on the other end said: "I have only just ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel daughter's BMW 650 by mistake". We got him to let us know where he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Paddington half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the car and he said thank you for coming out so quickly. As we were heading back home we found two young women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much 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.
