The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel bright red Saab 9-2X in Anstey. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater road along the way to see her godchildren. I punched her location into the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only purchased it a couple of days back right after my old one, which I had owned for about twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Hertfordshire lady!

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.
