The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Tales from our St James staff:

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car St James

I am not necessarily too inclined to doing work on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to sort out a fellow because he put the wrong petrol in his husband's BMW Z4. He was located in St James so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my attention on stuff and failed to perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Have I inflicted any kind of harm by simply running it?" I explained that truth be told there probably should not be damage and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and so another satisfied customer had the ability to continue on his trip without the hassle. He could not stop thanking me, and this is what makes earning a living on Sundays in Westminster that tiny bit less painful for me personally!

This was most definitely what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had become rather uneventful until now, and Mark and I were relaxing reading several old articles. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Westminster. It was so calm that when the phone eventually rang I leaped! The customer stated: "I only just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in the green VW Golf in error". I told him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we set off, arriving in St James not as much as 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said many thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back home we noticed two young women on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over 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.
