The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases quite expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ash Magna

Now I am certainly not that hot for doing work on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just departed the family after having a wonderful dinner prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman after he filled the wrong petrol in his clean white Fiat Ulysse. He was situated in Ash Magna so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other things and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created any harm because of driving it?" I said that generally there probably should not be damage and that I would personally remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then one more contented client was able to carry on with his trip without any subsequent hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this tends to make working on weekends in Shropshire a little less painful to me!

This was certainly the night shift. It was around 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite uneventful up to now, and Mark and I were relaxing browsing a few old newspapers. That was a rare tranquil hour in Shropshire. Actually it was indeed that calm that the moment the phone finally rang I leaped! The person stated: "I only just completed my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in my diesel mum's BMW 6 Series by mistake". I asked him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Ash Magna no more than an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor. He said thanks for arriving so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two women at the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we got out and helped them change it, much 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.
