The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations quite quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

I had appreciated a terrific evening hiking on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new couple who were vacationing in Preston. They broken down after adding the wrong fuel into their daughter's Mercedes CLS-Class, and were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I listened to the lady berating her hubby for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this goes on on daily basis in Tyne and Wear and that it's nothing to be anxious about, and yet he still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!

A driver from Preston with her little ones in her diesel modified BMW Alpina B7 had put £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She contacted us weeping and genuinely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that all would be alright and that she would be ready to go very quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked.

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.
