The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely wet and useless.

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been quite uneventful so far, and me and John were sitting about reading through several old articles. It was a rare calm moment in County Durham. It was in fact so calm that when the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end said: "I have only just finished my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a metallic red Saab 9-5 by mistake". I instructed him to tell us where the car was and we hit the road, getting to him in Consett only an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he said thanks for coming so promptly. As we were heading back home we saw two young women on the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over 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.
