The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations rather simply.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
