The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

I appreciated a terrific afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling pleased the next working day as I was on the way to assist a young family holidaying in Dunston. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their dark red Seat, and they were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked while I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you even be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this situation happens on daily basis in Derbyshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, however he yet still had his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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 VAT 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.
