The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was around. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing about browsing several old papers. That was an uncommon quiet time in Northumberland. It was so quiet that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer on the other end explained: "I have concluded my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel aunt's BMW Alpina B7 by mistake". We asked him to tell us where exactly he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Great Swinburne only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car and he said thanks for getting there so fast. While we were coming back to the office we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
