The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty quickly.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Audi riolet in Eastbrook. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down on a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I arrived at the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel because I'd just got it a short while back after my former one, which I owned for about 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Somerset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Eastbrook

We a few weeks ago had a call from a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his mustard yellow Toyota Sienna in Eastbrook. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you guys were in getting somebody out to aid me when I filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you so much". It goes without saying that we were on-scene rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our technician said the motorist was raging, but was pleased after the fuel drain.

This was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and me and Brian were relaxing reading a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon tranquil moment in Somerset. It was indeed that relaxing that the instant my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The voice explained: "I've completed my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my matte black Land Rover Freelander II by mistake". We told him to tell us exactly where he was and we set off, reaching him in Eastbrook under 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he said thanks a lot for showing up so quickly. As we were going back to the depot we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled up to help them change it, much 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.
