The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon fishing on my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next day as I set out to assist a young family who were holidaying in Arkholme. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their metallic blue Range Rover Sport, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her man for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this problem happens regularly in Lancashire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, however he all the same had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted so long and thought about what my wife would do to me if I made the same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.
