The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations quite simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

We've been called out to a number of privately owned and commercial premises in Dorset to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DT7 Postcode - Lyme Regis Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were off to assist an elder lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Daihatsu Rocky in Lyme Regis. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country lane along the way to see her godchildren. I plugged the location into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she explained, "I have been getting fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had only purchased it a few days ago right after my old car, which I'd used for over twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Dorset 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.
