The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased the following day as I headed out to help a young couple who were on holiday in Edford. They had conked out after filling diesel in their grass green VW Golf III, and were about half an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady telling her husband off for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this happens continuously in Somerset and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, but he still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I would personally never ever 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 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.
