The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Broad Clough

Now I'm certainly not overly keen on doing work weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd just left the family following a tasty lunch cooked for us by the missus, and I was off to help a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his classic Lexus LS. He was located in Broad Clough thus it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. As I arrived at the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my attention on something else and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused some damage by simply starting it?" I said that there should not be any problems and also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Needless to say I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and another contented client could continue his trip without any bother. The guy did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what can make operating on Sundays in Lancashire just that little bit better for me!

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.
