The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 3 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It was fairly dead thus far, and me and Mark were relaxing looking at some old magazines. It was a rare calm moment in County Durham. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my creamy white Mazda RX-7". We asked him to tell us where he was and we set off, reaching him in Cornsay Colliery no more than half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thank you for coming out so quickly. As we were returning home we saw two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly 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.
