The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations pretty simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OX15 Postcode - Alkerton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Monday and we were on my way to assist an older woman after she had put petrol in her diesel rugged Volvo XC90 in Alkerton. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a rural road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only bought it several days back when my previous car, which I'd had for more than thirty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious Oxfordshire lady!

This really was what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and noone was about. It had been quite uneventful so far, and me and Ray were sitting around perusing a few old articles. This was a rare restful moment in Oxfordshire. It was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I've only just ended my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel new Range Rover Classic by mistake". We instructed him to let us know where the car was located and we headed out, getting to him in Alkerton not as much as 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said many thanks for coming so quickly. While we were coming back home we spotted two young women on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up 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 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.
