Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases rather easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Langley Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Langley Green

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening fishing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were holidaying in Langley Green. They broken down after inserting diesel into their metallic yellow Peugeot 407, and were around half an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for being so foolish. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass constantly in Warwickshire and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyhow, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove off I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
