Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a gloomy Wednesday and we were off to assist an older woman who had put petrol in her diesel mustard yellow Peugeot 307 in Poundgreen. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station and was stranded along a backwater lane on route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had just purchased it a week ago when my old car, which I had had for more than twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Berkshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Poundgreen - Wrong Fuel in Car Poundgreen

I'd had a wonderful evening golfing on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on holiday in Poundgreen. They'd broken down after inserting petrol in their dark red Jaguar XK Series, and were roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed as I listened to the gal telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this happens on daily basis in Berkshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I waved goodbye and pondered on what my wife would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would personally never live it down!

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.
