The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got an old fuel reservoir in the rear of your garden containing out of date, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to get rid of it. We have been called out to numerous domestic and commercial properties in County Durham to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of drums in a shed, provided that we are able to access it, we could certainly drain it for you.

The owner of a uncle's Renault Laguna was regretful that he put petrol in his diesel automobile when he got onto the street and it spluttered and broke down. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel car," is what he shared with us the first time he phoned. To be truthful, when he initially contacted us he said he'd research prices, but he called us back soon enough because our rate and call-out times were the best. Obviously, our technician had him back performing his deliveries within the time we had cited.

This was exactly what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become pretty dead until now, and Mark and I were sitting about perusing some old newspapers. It was a rare restful moment in County Durham. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the phone stated: "I ended my overnight shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in my diesel elegant BMW M6 in error". I got him to tell us where the car was located and we hit the road, ending up in South Stanley under an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us profusely for getting there so rapidly. As we were heading back to the depot we noticed two girls at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
