The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

They are also able to deal with any of the normal issues that may go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NR10 Postcode - Felthorpe Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Saturday and we were en route to help an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel beautiful Mercedes-Benz CL-Class in Felthorpe. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane on route to see her grandchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only just purchased it a short while back because my former car, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. What a pleasant Norfolk woman!

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.
