The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

They will deal with the common troubles which might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

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.
