The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near enough to parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

I had a fantastic day hiking during my day off and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I was en route to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Kessingland Beach. They had broken down after filling petrol into their faithful Mitsubishi 3000GT, and they were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman berating her hubby for actually being so silly. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this goes on quite frequently in Suffolk and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky chap. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I waved farewell and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I would never ever live it down!

This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather dead up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing reading through several old magazines. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Suffolk. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist said: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the precious Land Rover Discovery Series II by mistake". I got him to tell us where he was and we set off, getting to him in Kessingland Beach not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. While we were returning home we noticed two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. So we pulled over and helped them change it, much 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.
