The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

We've been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Somerset for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Rimpton

Now I am not necessarily too excited about carrying out work on weekends, and last week was no different. I had only just departed home following a tasty roast made for me by the better half, and I was off to sort out a man who had put the wrong petrol in his new Audi RS 4. He was only in Rimpton and so I was there rapidly. As I drove up at the car and started work he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted harm simply by running it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and then yet another delighted customer could continue on his trip without the hassle. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make working on Sundays in Somerset a little easier for me personally!

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.
