The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car Suffolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Burstallhill

Now I'm not necessarily excessively excited about running Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left home following a fantastic dinner made for us by the better half, and I was en route to assist a guy after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his aunt's Citron DS5. He was located in Burstallhill so I was there rapidly. As I arrived at the rear of the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on something else and did not perceive I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some problems simply by running it?" I determined that truth be told there probably should not be any harm and that also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and yet another delighted motorist was able to carry on with their ride without any fuss. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes carrying out work on weekends in Suffolk a tiny bit better for me!

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.
