The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations quite quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Moreton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Merseyside Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to fix the standard problems which can go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CH46 Postcode - Moreton Misfueling

A rather concerned customer called us from the BP petrol station at Merseyside to tell us that he had put unleaded in his diesel husband's Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd managed to do it. We told him it was not a problem and rapidly had our fuel drainer with him to drain the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having taken out the bad fuel, he was subsequently back driving. He told us; "I can't believe I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the guy who appeared to do the fuel drain was incredibly fantastic - he didn't make me feel a fool."

It doesn't matter whether your car is brand new or older, we possess the ability, knowledge AND tools to ensure that your car is cleared out and purged of any wrong fuel as soon as possible, which means you can go on with your drive with the bare minimum trouble.

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 VAT 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.
