The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lower Basildon - Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Basildon

I enjoyed a great afternoon cycling during my day off and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new couple holidaying in Lower Basildon. They had stopped after filling diesel into their rust red Vauxhall Corsa, and were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you even manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place all the time in Berkshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he yet still had an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what my missus would do to me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would personally 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.
