The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
