The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was stirring. It was pretty dead thus far, and me and Paul were sitting browsing a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil moment in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that when the telephone inevitably rang I jumped! The customer stated: "I only just ended my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my new-shape Isuzu i-Series". I instructed him to tell us where exactly the car was and we left, reaching him in Banwell no more than an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the motor. He said thanks a lot for showing up so quickly. While we were heading back home we spotted two ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. So we got out and helped them change it, 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 VA 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.
