The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will produce idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to assist an elder sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel well worn Mitsubishi Lancer in Pilford. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural lane on route to see her godchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it a few days back when my old one, which I had owned for more than thirty years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she offered me a toffee and said thank you. Such a delightful Dorset lady!

A young lady from Pilford with a full car of kids in her diesel blue Cadillac Sixty Special had put £45 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She contacted us weeping and very distraught as she had never wrong fueled previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that the vehicle should be alright and that she would be back in action very quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
