The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Pentre-cefn

I am not ever very excited about carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids following a magnificent dinner cooked by the better half, and I was on my way to help a fellow who had filled the wrong fuel in his mustard yellow Chevrolet Caprice. He was located in Pentre-cefn hence it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of harm as a result of running it?" I explained there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd remove the fuel right away. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another contented motorist had the ability to continue his trip with no difficulty. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes carrying out work on weekends in Shropshire just that small bit better in my opinion!

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.
