The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations very quickly.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR4 Postcode - Knapton Green Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was off to help an old lady who had put petrol in her diesel compact Hyundai Accent in Knapton Green. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a country road en route to see her godchildren. I plugged her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only got it a few days back when my previous car, which I'd had for more than thirty years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Herefordshire woman!

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.
