The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel will cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both situations fairly easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I headed out to help a new family who were away in Basford. They pulled over after adding petrol in their sky blue Audi RS 4, and they were close to an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady telling her man off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass all the time in Staffordshire and that it's in reality nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same had an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted good-bye and thought about what my missus would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

We have fuel drain specialists on call in the area all set and waiting to come out and empty your car of the incorrect fuel or polluted fuel. We run twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. All of our experts are totally skilled and seasoned in working with all models of automobiles.

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 VAT 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.
