The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

This was certainly what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about sunrise and hardly anyone was stirring. It was fairly quiet up to now, and me and John were relaxing reading a number of old magazines. That was an uncommon calm time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was that peaceful that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The motorist said: "I have just ended my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a light green MINI Countryman". I instructed him to tell us where exactly the car was and we headed out, arriving in Grasby only half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for coming out so rapidly. While we were heading back to the depot we found two women at the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
