The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to address in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

We've been called out to numerous privately owned and industrial properties in West Sussex to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages.

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.
