The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to deal with in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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.
