The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next day as I set off to aid a young couple holidaying in Popeswood. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their metallic blue Lexus LFA, and they were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the wife chastising her husband for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this comes to pass on a regular basis in Berkshire and that it's nothing to fret about, nonetheless he still had an earful. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I drained all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

This really was the night shift. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and me and Paul were sitting reading some old magazines. It was an unusual peaceful hour in Berkshire. It was that calm that when the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The motorist on the phone stated: "I've just concluded my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a diesel beautiful Nissan Maxima in error". I instructed him to let us know where the vehicle was and we left, arriving in Popeswood less than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly. As we were coming back home we noticed two ladies on the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
