The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

A customer from Swinford with a full car of kids in her diesel trusty BMW 3 Series had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She called us crying and really worried as she had never wrong fueled previously and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We told her that everything would be okay and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Particularly with the children in the back."

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.
