The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel tank laying at the rear of the garden with old, useless or degraded fuel? We are able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to quite a few privately owned and commercial premises in Somerset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt contented the following day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying in Norton Hawkfield. They had broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their bright red Toyota Highlander, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs regularly in Somerset and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While they drove away I waved good bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

It truly was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and Ray and I were sitting looking at some old articles. It was a rare restful time in Somerset. It was indeed so tranquil that when the phone rang it made me jump! The person told me: "I concluded my overnight shift and foolishly filled petrol in a metallic grey Audi R8 by mistake". I got him to tell us just where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Norton Hawkfield under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the engine. He said thank you for coming out so rapidly. As we were coming back home we found two girls on the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
