The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain 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 rather simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to parking spot we will be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.


Wrong Fuel in Car in BN27 Postcode - Grove Hill Misfueling

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Monday and we were off to help an old lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel new Hyundai Genesis Coupe in Grove Hill. I had been informed she had left the petrol station and was stranded on a country road on the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I am becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I had just acquired it several days back right after my former car, which I had for about 25 years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious East Sussex lady!

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was stirring. It was rather dead so far, and Mark and I were loafing around looking at several old magazines. That was a rare calm hour in East Sussex. It was indeed that peaceful that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist stated: "I just ended my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in my yellow Toyota Prius by mistake". I told him to let us know exactly where the car was located and we set off, ending up in Grove Hill only an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us for coming so promptly. As we were returning to the office we noticed two girls on the side of the highway who looked like they had a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, much 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 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.
