The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in E15 Postcode - Hackney Wick Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel work's Mercedes Sprinter 3500 in Hackney Wick. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater lane on the way to visit her family. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a short while back because my previous car, which I used for about 25 years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Tower Hamlets woman!

Now I'm not necessarily overly excited about doing the job on Sundays, and last week was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids filled with a tasty roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was on the way to help a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his buff Mitsubishi Outlander. He was somewhere in Hackney Wick so I was with him soon. As I arrived at the car and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any kind of problems through running it?" I revealed that there should not be any kind of damage and that I would personally drain the contaminated fuel at once for him. Obviously I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus another delighted client could carry on with their trip without any subsequent fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is what helps make operating on weekends in Tower Hamlets just that tiny bit less painful for me personally!

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was stirring. It was quite quiet up to now, and me and Mark were sitting reading some old newspapers. This was an unusual tranquil moment in Tower Hamlets. It was indeed so peaceful that the instant the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The voice explained: "I finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel sunflower yellow Volvo740 in error". We asked him to let us know exactly where he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Hackney Wick under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine. He said thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were returning to the office we found two women at the edge of the road who seemed like they had a flat. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
