The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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

I am not actually so keen on doing the job on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had only just departed home after a superb dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a gentleman who put the incorrect petrol in his son's Fiat Punto. He was located in Otterburn hence I was there soon. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and didn't grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused some problems because of running it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be damage and also that I would personally get the fuel drained quickly for him. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and another pleased motorist had the ability to continue their journey without the bother. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make working on weekends in North Yorkshire that little bit easier in my opinion!

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.
