The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE15 Postcode - Little London Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel rust red Volkswagen Fox in Little London. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she explained, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only just purchased it a short while ago when my other one, which I had had for in excess of 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the drain done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Cambridgeshire lady!

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.

Ordinary Misfueling Symptoms:
