The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dunkirk

I'm not actually so excited about doing the job on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids following a superb lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was off to assist a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his mustard yellow Suzuki Verona. He was somewhere in Dunkirk thus it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up behind the car and started work he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I had my mind on other stuff and failed to perceive I have put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about some damage by running it?" I said that there probably should not be any problems and also that I'd drain the fuel at once. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then yet another happy client could continue on his ride without the need for fuss. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what can make earning a living on weekends in Gloucestershire just a tiny bit easier for me personally!

A woman driving in Dunkirk phoned us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel new Audi RS 4 and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she could simply fill up the car with diesel and it would run alright. The car was coughing and then it died when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired within an hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you sorted my car."

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.
