The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL15 Postcode - New Hunwick Misfueling

What a good night's sleep! 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to help an older sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Audi RS4 in New Hunwick. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country road en route to see her grandchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour or so. I arrived at the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd only just bought it a few days back when my previous car, which I'd used for about thirty years, finally broke down". I completed the job and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely County Durham lady!

I'd had a wonderful afternoon golfing during my off day and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I was en route to aid a young couple who were holidaying in New Hunwick. They'd conked out after inserting diesel into their classic Renault Modus, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I listened to the wife telling her hubby off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass frequently in County Durham and that it is nothing to worry about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved bon voyage and considered what my missus would do to me if ever I made the same error... I would never ever live it down!

This was an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly 3am and hardly anyone was around. It had become rather uneventful until now, and me and Ryan were loafing about looking at a couple of old articles. It was a rare calm hour in County Durham. It was indeed so relaxing that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end explained: "I just completed my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in the creamy white Suzuki Sidekick". I told him to let us know just where the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in New Hunwick only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the motor. He thanked us for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back home we saw two young ladies at the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a puncture.

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.
