Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Shirehampton - Wrong Fuel in Car Shirehampton

I had a perfect afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a young couple away in Shirehampton. They stopped after putting diesel into their blue Vauxhall Corsa, and were roughly half an hour away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her partner for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Bristol and that it's truly nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I'd 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.
