The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases quite easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was about 3:30am and noone was about. It had been rather quiet thus far, and me and Brian were sitting about perusing a number of old papers. This was an uncommon calm moment in Somerset. It was so peaceful that the instant the phone ultimately rang it made me jump! The customer explained: "I've ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel mom's Chevrolet Caprice by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in West Harptree only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we spotted two girls on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
