Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases very quickly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB23 Postcode - Dry Drayton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were off to help an older lady who put petrol in her diesel silver BMW 8 Series in Dry Drayton. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a country road on route to see her godchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a short while ago because my former one, which I had had for over twenty five years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Cambridgeshire 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:

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.
