The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on my way to help an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel navy blue Audi Allroad in Flowers Bottom. I had been told she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only bought it several days back because my former car, which I had used for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Buckinghamshire woman!

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:

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
