The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations quite easily.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

The owner of a super Renault Kangoo was regretful that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the road and it coughed and stopped. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel vehicle," is what he informed us the initial time he rang. To be honest, when he initially contacted us he said he'd shop around, but he called us back soon enough because our rate and on-scene times were the most appropriate. Naturally, our technician had him back performing his deliveries well within the time we'd quoted.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Henfords Marsh

I am not too keen on carrying out work on weekends, and last week was no different. I'd just left the family following a magnificent lunch made by the better half, and I was on the way to help a gentleman who had put the incorrect fuel in his compact MINI Cooper. He was only in Henfords Marsh thus I arrived on scene very quickly. Just as I drove up behind the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I created damage as a result of running it?" I revealed generally there shouldn't be any damage and also I'd remove the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and so one more pleased client was able to continue their journey without hassle. The guy could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make working on Sundays in Wiltshire just that little bit easier in my opinion!

This was the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was around. It had become rather dead thus far, and Brian and I were loafing around reading through a few old newspapers. It was a rare restful moment in Wiltshire. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment my mobile inevitably rang I jumped! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I finished my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel luxury Chevrolet Suburban by mistake". I instructed him to let us know just where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Henfords Marsh only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. While we were returning to the depot we saw two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their elation.

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.
