The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

I had a fantastic evening cycling during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set out to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Preston upon the Weald Moors. They stopped after putting petrol into their cream Vauxhall Combo, and the car was about half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the lady chastising her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass regularly in Shropshire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he still had an earful by his better half. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the same error... I'd personally never live it down!

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.
