The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have a fuel tank laying at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Greater Manchester to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or even several containers in a storage shed, assuming that we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hyde - Fuel Rescue Hyde

A customer working in Hyde called us shortly after she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Toyota Prius and, like countless prior to her, imagined that she could basically top up her tank with diesel and it'd be no problem. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she came to the entrance of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed in an hour whilst she was at work. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely pleased you repaired my vehicle."

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 VA 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.
