The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

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.
