The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
