The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL7 Postcode - Fairford Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and we were on the way to help an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Peugeot 306 in Fairford. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station and was broken down in a rural lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel because I'd only just purchased it a short while back because my old car, which I had had for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful Gloucestershire lady!

Tales from our own Fairford technicians:

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fairford

Now I am not actually overly excited about carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the family after having a superb dinner prepared by the better half, and I was off to assist a man after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his dark green Jeep Wrangler. He was situated in Fairford and so I arrived on scene soon. Just as I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of harm by running it?" I stated that truth be told there should not be any harm and that I'd drain the wrong fuel as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and so yet another happy client had the ability to carry on with his journey without any difficulty. He did not stop thanking me, and this is what can make earning a living on Sundays in Gloucestershire a tiny bit less painful 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.
