The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty simply.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

We're able to come to fill up your car in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your vehicle.

A young lady had broken down on a road, Kingsditch having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was in tears and truly distressed as she had put £55 petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to sooth her as best we could, assuring her that everything would be alright. When we reached her she was not annoyed any more and was really curious in watching our technician complete the fuel drain on her shiny VW Jetta. Later on she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I just bought it and thus it especially horrified me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm really gratified that it was so very easily repairable."

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.
