The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and we were on my way to help an older lovely lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel compact Audi RS 4 in Sonning. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was stranded in a country road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the drain she told me, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had only purchased it several days back because my former car, which I had owned for about 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a delightful Berkshire lady!

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.
