The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in YO8 Postcode - Newhay Misfueling

A relatively concerned driver called us from the Esso filling station at North Yorkshire to tell us that he had put unleaded in his diesel metallic silver Dodge Sprinter; he wasn't really certain how he'd done it. We said to him it was no hassle and soon had our specialist with him to drain the wrong fuel from his car. Having taken away the bad fuel, he was soon back behind the wheel. He told us; "I am honestly surprised I put petrol in my diesel car. And the guy who was sent to undertake the fuel drain was very very good - he didn't make me look and feel a fool."

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Newhay

We got a telephone call from a customer whose mom's Volkswagen GTI had conked out on a road after a misfuel. "I mixed up the pumps and put the wrong fuel in my car by mistake. These guys arrived and sorted out the situation when my vehicle gave up." We purged the petrol from the diesel tank and flushed the system thoroughly afterwards and the driver could continue on with his deliveries.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Newhay - Fuel Rescue Newhay

A young lady driving in Newhay contacted us after she had tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mate's Ford C-MAX Hybrid and, like many prior to her, thought that she would be able to simply top up her car with diesel and it would run fine. The car was chugging and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved within 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely relieved you fixed my vehicle."

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.
