The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations rather quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Besford

Now I'm not ever excessively enthusiastic about doing work Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had just departed home following a superb roast prepared by the wife, and I was en route to help a guy because he put the incorrect fuel in his matte black Mitsubishi 3000GT. He was located in Besford so I was on scene soon. As I drove up at the car and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my concentration on other things and did not realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some harm by simply starting it?" I stated that there should not be any kind of damage and that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and so yet another content motorist was able to continue his ride without any subsequent fuss. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is what can make working on weekends in Shropshire that little bit less painful to me!

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.
