The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having 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. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in YO12 Postcode - Barrowcliff Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Monday and I was on my way to assist an older sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel rust red Land Rover Defender 90 in Barrowcliff. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I had only got it a week ago because my former car, which I had for more than thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant North Yorkshire 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.
