A motorist conked out on a street in Chittering required a fuel drain about a month back. His Ferarri red Subaru Legacy was stopped on the road after he had put in the wrong fuel.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chittering - Wrong Fuel in Car Chittering

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling on the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a young couple who were holidaying in Chittering. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol in their dark blue Suzuki Reno, and the car was roughly an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation takes place all the time in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, even so he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and thought about what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!

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.
