The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to several private and commercial premises in Oxfordshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

I had appreciated a great day fishing on my day off and was feeling pleased the next working day as I headed out to aid a young couple vacationing in Pishill. They conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their mom's Skoda Yeti, and they were approximately an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the gal chastising her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place constantly in Oxfordshire and that it's truly nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved farewell and pondered on what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty uneventful so far, and Brian and I were relaxing browsing a couple of old papers. It was a rare restful moment in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed that calm that when the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the other end said: "I have just concluded my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a diesel green MINI Cooper". We asked him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we set off, arriving in Pishill 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He said many thanks for coming out so fast. While we were coming back home we spotted two ladies on the side of the road who looked like they had a puncture. So we pulled up to change it, 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 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.
