The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I'd had a wonderful day cycling on my off day and felt contented with myself the following day as I headed out to aid a young couple on holiday in Birchgrove. They had stopped after adding diesel in their metallic green BMW, and they were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this situation comes to pass frequently in West Sussex and that it is nothing at all to worry about, and yet he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

A lady from Birchgrove with her kids in her diesel yellow Kia Sephia had put £30 of petrol at the BP service station. She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle . We told her that the car would be fine and that she would be back on the road soon. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the youngsters on board."

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.
