The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Monday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic blue Volkswagen Golf in Uphill Manor. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater lane on route to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only acquired it a couple of days back after my previous one, which I had had for more than twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Somerset woman!

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.
