The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations fairly easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NG16 Postcode - Giltbrook Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Sunday and I was off to help an old sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic silver Mercedes-Benz E-Class in Giltbrook. I'd been told she had left the filling station and stranded along a backwater road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a couple of days ago because my previous one, which I had owned for about twenty five years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Nottinghamshire 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 VAT 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.
