The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations very easily.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

This was certainly what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was around. It had become quite uneventful until now, and me and Ray were sitting looking through a couple of old magazines. This was a rare peaceful time in Gloucestershire. It was that peaceful that the moment the phone eventually rang I jumped! The customer said: "I finished my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel new Renault". We instructed him to let us know just where he was located and we headed out, reaching him in Dyrham under an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the car and he thanked us for coming so quickly. As we were going back to the depot we found two women at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled up 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.
