The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

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:

    • 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.
