The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases very easily.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Dale Hill

We a few weeks ago had a phone call from a man who put the wrong fuel in his apple green Honda Accord in Dale Hill. He had conked out on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the issue before we conked out. You took the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was pleased because of both how quick you were and your value for money". It goes without saying that we appeared rapidly and flushed the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank.

This really was an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and nobody was around. It had been quite dead until now, and me and Paul were loafing reading through several old magazines. This was a rare tranquil hour in East Sussex. It was that calm that the moment the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer stated: "I have finished my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the metallic blue MINI Countryman". We told him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Dale Hill half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. While we were going back home we found two young women at the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
