The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases rather simply.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Holditch

Now I am not actually that keen on doing work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids following a tasty Sunday roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man after he filled the wrong petrol in his dark red Volkswagen Eurovan. He was located in Holditch thus I was there almost immediately. As I drove up at the car and stepped out he told me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other stuff and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I inflicted any kind of harm by starting it?" I said that there shouldn't be any harm and that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel at once. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus another content motorist was able to carry on with his traveling without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what helps make working on Sundays in Dorset that little better for me!

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.
