The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

What a good night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Sunday and we were off to help an elder sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel blue Renault Twingo in Birtley. I'd been advised she had left the filling station and pulled up in a rural road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had only got it a short while back after my old car, which I'd used for more than 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a precious Northumberland lady!

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.
