The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather easily.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon hiking on my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I was on the way to aid a new couple holidaying in Kirkham. They'd broken down after adding petrol into their mom's Volvo C70, and they were around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation takes place on daily basis in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Poor boy. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove away I shouted good-bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Kirkham

I'm not necessarily so interested in working on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd just departed home after having a wonderful Sunday roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was off to help a fellow who had put the incorrect petrol in his baby blue BMW 745. He was only in Kirkham thus it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my attention on something else and didn't perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I created problems simply by starting it?" I stated generally there should not be any problems and that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel at once for him. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and another happy motorist had the ability to continue his traveling without bother. The man couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make operating on Sundays in North Yorkshire that little 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.
