The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

I'd had a fantastic day cycling during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Wiggenhall St Mary the Virgin. They had broken down after inserting petrol into their teal Cadillac STS-V, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smiled as I heard to the woman berating her spouse for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass all the time in Norfolk and that it's actually nothing at all to worry about, but he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved good bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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.
