The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

A lady from Old Ditch with a full car of little ones in her diesel metallic blue BMW 600 had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Shell service station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the vehicle would be fine and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the little ones on board."

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.
