The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I had a perfect day hiking on my day off and felt cheerful the next morning as I set off to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Oakhill. They conked out after putting petrol in their brother's Cadillac Eldorado, and were close to an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling off her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Somerset and that it is nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. At any rate, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about 3:30am and almost noone was about. It had been pretty uneventful up to now, and Mark and I were loafing around perusing several old articles. It was an uncommon quiet hour in Somerset. Actually it was in fact that calm that when my mobile rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the phone told me: "I've completed my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel sunflower yellow Mercedes-Benz SL-Class in error". I instructed him to let us know exactly where he was and we set off, arriving in Oakhill only half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we saw two girls at the side of the street who looked like they had a puncture. So we stopped to 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.
