The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

What a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel maroon Hyundai Santa Fe in Ridlington. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road on the way to see her godchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was working she said to me, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I had only just got it a week back after my former one, which I had for about 30 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Rutland 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 VA 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.
