The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and we were en route to assist an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel buff Subaru Legacy in West Compton. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and broken down on a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I reached the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only just got it a short while ago when my old car, which I had owned for more than 30 years, eventually broke down". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Dorset woman!

It truly was what we call the night shift. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was stirring. It had become fairly uneventful until now, and Brian and I were sitting around browsing some old articles. That was an unusual quiet hour in Dorset. Actually it was that quiet that the instant my mobile rang I leaped with surprise! The motorist on the phone said: "I've concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel metallic red Volkswagen Scirocco by mistake". We told him to let us know just where the car was and we hit the road, ending up in West Compton under an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said thanks for coming out so fast.

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.
