The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NE49 Postcode - Haltwhistle Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were off to assist an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel partner's Volvo940 in Haltwhistle. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up on a backwater road on route to see her family. I popped the location into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only just purchased it a week back after my other car, which I owned for about 25 years, inevitably broke down". I completed the job and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Northumberland lady!

I had enjoyed a great evening fishing during the weekend and felt cheerful the following working day as I headed out to aid a young family on holiday in Haltwhistle. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their creamy white Jeep Cherokee, and they were close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her husband off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on everyday in Northumberland and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. Poor chap. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

This really was what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and almost noone was around. It had been quite quiet up to now, and Ray and I were sitting about reading through a number of old newspapers. That was a rare restful moment in Northumberland. Actually it was in fact so relaxing that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I've concluded my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in the baby blue Isuzu i-Series by mistake". We got him to let us know exactly where he was and we left, arriving in Haltwhistle under 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back home we noticed two women at the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
