The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances quite expediently.

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

We have been called out to several privately owned and industrial premises in Dorset to take care of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Monday and we were on my way to help an old woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel friend's Ford Focus ST in Broadoak. She told us that she drove away from the filling station and pulled up in a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a week ago right after my old car, which I used for over thirty years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Dorset lady!

I had a terrific afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt delighted the following morning as I headed out to help a young family who were away in Broadoak. They conked out after adding petrol in their Ferarri red BMW 6 Series, and were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Dorset and that it's really nothing to be anxious about, even so he still got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good-bye and thought about what my wife would tell me if ever I made the exact same error... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.
