The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a vehicle parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations rather expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SK17 Postcode - Sheen Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and I was en route to assist an older sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel precious Audi RS 4 in Sheen. I had been informed she had left the filling station and was broken down on a country lane en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I had just bought it a short while ago when my old one, which I had owned for about twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely Staffordshire lady!

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.
