The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

It truly was the night shift. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was stirring. It was quite quiet so far, and Mark and I were relaxing looking through a couple of old magazines. It was a rare calm time in Hampshire. It was in fact that relaxing that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the phone said: "I've just finished my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in the diesel well worn Smart Car". I asked him to tell us where the car was and we set off, reaching him in Hedge End no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said thanks a lot for coming so promptly. As we were coming back home we saw two ladies at the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, much 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.
