The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a country road along the way to visit her family.

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a young family who were vacationing in Farmbridge End. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their partner's Honda CR-V, and the car was close to an hour away. I emerged at their car and laughed as I listened to the lady chastising her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this happens all the time in Essex and that it is nothing at all to stress about, however he yet still had an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the same blunder... I would never ever live it down!

A teenager who had recently got his licence had wrong fueled his dad's Hyundai Genesis by putting unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the filling station in Farmbridge End. He said, "This is only the second time I have put fuel in my car from the time when I bought it and I have no clue of what to do." He was afraid because his step father had just recently purchased him the car. He found our company on the net and so called it right away, frightened about what he should do.

This was certainly the night shift. It was about 2:30am and almost noone was around. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and Ryan and I were sitting reading a number of old newspapers. This was an unusual quiet moment in Essex. It was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone finally rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone explained: "I've concluded my night shift and incredibly put petrol in my friend's VW GLI in error". I asked him to inform us exactly where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Farmbridge End under half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he thanked us for getting there so quickly. While we were going back home we found two ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. So we pulled over 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 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.
