The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases pretty simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

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.
