The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel container placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, unusable or contaminated fuel? We are able to help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to many private and commercial premises in Essex for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

Whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even some drums in an outbuilding, if we are able to get to it, we are able to empty it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car East Horndon

Now I am not ever overly hot for running Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just departed home after eating a tasty roast made by the missus, and I was en route to help a gentleman after he put the wrong petrol in his clean white Kia Spectra5. He was only in East Horndon therefore I arrived there soon. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on something else and failed to grasp that I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I created any kind of problems simply by starting it?" I explained generally there shouldn't be damage and that also I would drain the wrong fuel immediately. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and thus one more content client could carry on with his ride without the bother. The gentleman couldn't stop thanking me, and that helps make working on weekends in Essex just a little bit better 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 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.
