The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and noone was about. It was rather quiet so far, and Mark and I were relaxing reading a couple of old newspapers. That was an uncommon tranquil hour in Gloucestershire. It was in fact that calm that the moment my mobile finally rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I completed my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a mint green Mitsubishi Excel". We asked him to let us know just where he was and we headed out, reaching him in Ruardean Hill less than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. As we were returning to base we found two young ladies on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we got out to change it, much to their delight.

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.
