The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BS22 Postcode - Worlebury Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was off to help an old sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel cream VW Beetle in Worlebury. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station and was pulled up on a country road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had only just got it a week ago because my other one, which I had owned for over 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a precious 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.
