The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in KT6 Postcode - Surbiton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Land Rover Freelander in Surbiton. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a country lane on route to visit her family. I popped the location into the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she told me, "Now I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel as I'd just bought it a few days ago right after my old one, which I had had for more than 25 years, eventually died". I finished the job and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Kingston upon Thames lady!

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.
