The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Out of Fuel Service

Run out of fuel in Spitalbrook (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Hertfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will deal with any of the standard troubles that can accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

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.
