The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3am and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty dead so far, and Mark and I were relaxing reading through some old articles. This was an unusual tranquil moment in County Durham. It was in fact so quiet that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a gorgeous Fiat Nuova 500 in error". I got him to inform us where exactly the car was situated and we hit the road, getting to him in Carrville only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the car. He thanked us for coming out so fast. As we were returning home we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled up to help them change it, much to their delight.

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 VA 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.
