The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases very simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Walberswick - Wrong Fuel in Car Walberswick

I had enjoyed a great day cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the following day as I set off to assist a new family who were on vacation in Walberswick. They broken down after filling petrol into their white Cadillac XLR, and were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this occurs everyday in Suffolk and that it's nothing to fret about, even so he still got an earful by his wife. Poor lad. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
