The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Sunday and I was en route to help an older woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel beautiful Volvo XC90 in Elton. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a country lane on route to see her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car using diesel as I'd only just purchased it a few days back after my other one, which I used for over twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Cheshire 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.
