The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank laying at the back of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and commercial properties in Nottinghamshire for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we can get to it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Shelford

I wouldn't like grinding to a halt in a automobile with the wrong fuel in the middle of the street. Our most recent customer who filled her diesel car with petrol (bright white BMW Alpina B7) in Shelford had exactly that problem: "You may already know I incorrectly put unleaded in my diesel car last week. I was so worried about my mistake that I was in tears. And yet I shouldn't have concerned myself seeing as you were brilliant in fixing it."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Shelford - Fuel Rescue Shelford

A lady from Shelford with a full car of youngsters in her diesel mint green Seat Alhumbra had filled her car with £20 of petrol at the Shell service station. She called us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never wrong fueled before and did not know what could happen to her car because of it. We assured her that everything should be fine and that she would be in action soon. When we arrived she was still upset but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I simply can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the kids in the back."

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 VAT 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.
