The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH7 Postcode - Holmside Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to assist an old woman who put petrol in her diesel old Renault in Holmside. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a backwater lane along the way to see her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only just bought it a couple of days back because my previous car, which I'd had for about twenty years, finally broke down". I got the drain done and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful County Durham 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 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.
