The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

What a good night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Wednesday and I was en route to assist an older sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel canary yellow Fiat Uno in Dragons Green.

I got the location plugged in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle.

I got the drain done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful West Sussex lady!

I enjoyed a fantastic evening cycling during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to help a young family who were on holiday in Dragons Green. They'd stopped after filling petrol into their clean white Mazda626, and the car was approximately an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling off her man for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this takes place continuously in West Sussex and that it is nothing to stress about, and yet he still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my missus would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never 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.
