The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the car.

This was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was around sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were relaxing reading some old newspapers. This was an uncommon restful moment in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when the phone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end said: "I've only just concluded my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my diesel gorgeous Mazda626". We told him to let us know exactly where he was situated and we left, ending up in Yelford less than an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. While we were going back to the office we spotted two ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. Obviously 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 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.
