The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

They can also take care of the common issues that can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Lower Hopton

I am not actually so enthusiastic about carrying out work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids filled with a tasty lunch made for me by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a man who filled the wrong fuel in his sky blue Skoda Octavia. He was situated in Lower Hopton thus I was on scene soon. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused harm simply by starting it?" I said that generally there should not be any problems and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away for him. Naturally I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus another delighted client could carry on with their journey without any difficulty. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what can make working on Sundays in Shropshire just that little bit less painful to me!

A customer employed in Lower Hopton called us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had put petrol in her diesel blue Lexus LFA and, like plenty prior to her, imagined that she could basically fill the vehicle with diesel and it would run okay. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We immediately went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in an hour whilst she was working. She came outside soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really pleased you fixed my vehicle."

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.
