The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and I was en route to assist an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel trusty Mercedes Sprinter 3500 in Churchwood. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I am becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only bought it several days back right after my former one, which I'd owned for more than twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful West Sussex lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Churchwood

I am not ever very inclined to doing work on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just departed the family after a tasty Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a man after he put the wrong petrol in his grey Mazda B-Series Plus. He was situated in Churchwood thus I was on scene quickly. As I drove up at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and did not realise I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created damage simply by running it?" I said truth be told there should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel right away for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and yet another content motorist had the ability to continue his trip without any subsequent difficulty. The gentleman could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in West Sussex just that tiny bit less painful for me!

A motorist living in Churchwood contacted us shortly after she had tried to get her misfueled car to work. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Mercedes-Benz S-Class and, like many people before her, imagined that she could simply top up her tank with diesel and it would be fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she got to the entrance of her work. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved inside an hour whilst she was in the office. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm really relieved you repaired my car."

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.
