The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during my day off and was feeling satisfied the next morning as I set out to help a new couple who were holidaying in Ham Green. They had conked out after adding petrol into their compact Honda Accord, and were around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing goes on regularly in Herefordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he still got an earful by his better half. Unlucky guy. In any case, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove off I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
