The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TF5 Postcode - Admaston Misfueling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder lovely lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red Land Rover Discovery Series II in Admaston. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded on a country lane on route to see her family. I punched her location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had just purchased it several days ago after my old car, which I'd used for over twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Shropshire woman!

I was so worried about contaminating my fuel that I was actually in tears. Fortunately I didn't need to worry simply because you were amazing in resolving it."

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.
