The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel will result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

We have been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Surrey to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in KT20 Postcode - Box Hill Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to help an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel beautiful Audi A6 in Box Hill. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up in a rural road along the way to visit her family. I plugged her location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel as I had only just bought it a few days ago after my old car, which I'd had for in excess of twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Surrey woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Box Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Box Hill

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to help a young family vacationing in Box Hill. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their Ferarri red Volvo740, and they were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I listened to the lady telling off her partner for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this problem goes on constantly in Surrey and that it is nothing to stress about, but he still had his ear bent by his better half. Poor chap. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Box Hill

We performed a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a lovely house in Box Hill a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to almost get home when my car quit." Our technician went out, even though it was quite late at night, and carried out a fuel drain and purge on the green Citron DS3 to everyone's satisfaction.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly 2am and almost noone was stirring. It was rather uneventful thus far, and me and Ryan were relaxing perusing some old articles. That was a rare quiet time in Surrey. It was in fact so peaceful that when the telephone rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end said: "I have ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my navy blue Volvo XC70 in error". We instructed him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Box Hill under an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car. He said thanks a lot for arriving so rapidly. While we were heading back home we spotted two young ladies at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
