The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking spot we are able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Pitminster

Now I am not that keen on working weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids following a fantastic lunch prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to assist a gentleman because he filled the wrong petrol in his silver Jaguar XK Series. He was situated in Pitminster so it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived right behind the car and got out he told me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and did not realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused harm as a result of driving it?" I explained that there shouldn't be any problems and that I would drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and so one more contented customer could carry on with their traveling without the bother. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that makes working on weekends in Somerset just a little bit easier for me personally!

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.
