The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations very expediently.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and we were on my way to assist an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel dark green Lexus LS in Thorpe Larches. I had been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I had only purchased it several days back when my old car, which I'd used for over 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful County Durham lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Thorpe Larches

I am not necessarily very interested in running on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from the family after a lovely dinner made for me by the wife, and I was off to assist a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his well worn Peugeot 306. He was stationed in Thorpe Larches hence I was there almost immediately. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and failed to grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought about problems because of running it?" I determined that generally there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also that I would remove the contaminated fuel at once. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and thus one more content client was able to continue on their traveling without the need for hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this tends to make earning a living on Sundays in County Durham just that little bit less painful for me personally!

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 VA 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.
