The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I got there at their car and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her man off for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him.

At any rate, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel.

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.
