The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LU7 Postcode - Ledburn Misfueling

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Sunday and I was off to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel pristine BMW Z3 in Ledburn. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and stranded in a country road on route to see her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel since I had only just bought it several days back right after my previous car, which I'd had for in excess of thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. What a lovely Buckinghamshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ledburn

Now I'm not ever excessively interested in running on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd just left home after having a magnificent lunch made for me by the wife, and I was off to deal with a fellow who put the wrong petrol in his company's Jaguar XK Series. He was only in Ledburn thus I was on scene almost immediately. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my attention on other stuff and did not ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any harm through running it?" I determined that generally there should not be any damage and that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and yet another happy customer could continue their trip without any fuss. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Buckinghamshire a tiny bit better for me!

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.
