The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather simply.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist High Wych - Wrong Fuel in Car High Wych

I had a fantastic evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I set off to help a new couple vacationing in High Wych. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their compact Vauxhall Corsa, and they were approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl telling her man off for actually being so confused. "How could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this occurs everyday in Hertfordshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, but he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. As they drove off I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my wife would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would personally never 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.
