The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY5 Postcode - Alberbury Misfueling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were off to assist an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel elegant BMW 650 in Alberbury. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded on a country lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had just got it a few days ago because my previous one, which I'd used for about 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely Shropshire woman!

I had enjoyed a great evening cycling during my holiday and felt cheerful the next morning as I set out to help a young family on holiday in Alberbury. They had broken down after filling petrol in their navy blue Audi A5, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked as I listened to the lady berating her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass continuously in Shropshire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, but he still got an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and considered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Alberbury

We not long ago received a phone call about a guy who put the wrong fuel in his expensive Kia Sedona in Alberbury. He had conked out on the street. "I couldn't believe how rapid you people were in getting a technician out to assist me after I foolishly petrol in my diesel. Thank you". As you can imagine we showed up rapidly and purged the engine after draining all of the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the technician said the customer was raging, but was satisfied afterwards.

This was certainly an unsociable time to be up. It was around 3 in the morning and nobody was about. It had been rather dead thus far, and me and Mark were relaxing reading several old magazines. That was an unusual calm hour in Shropshire. It was in fact so quiet that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The customer explained: "I only just ended my overnight shift and incredibly filled petrol in my cyan Mitsubishi Lancer in error". We told him to inform us where he was and we set off, arriving in Alberbury not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back home we noticed two ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
