AdBlue and Water Contamination

If your fuel system has water in it, irregularities of behavior will quickly be shown by your engine. Symptoms cited above for an engine with the wrong fuel can also be noticed if the fuel system has water in it. This includes low power, lots of smoke appearing out of the exhaust, irregularities on how the vehicle runs and even failing to run at all. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

AdBlue is a solution which is utilized get rid of toxic gases from the engine's exhaust, and if it is put in the diesel tank then it can also cause the same issues. AdBlue contamination can also take place if it is used by somebody who has no knowledge on how or where it should be added. Therefore, it should just be used by someone who is aware that it should be added to its own tank instead of being added directly to the fuel.

In both of the cases above, we can provide you with the same fuel system draining, flushing and refilling service as we do if you put the wrong fuel in your vehicle.

Tales from our own Cowden staff:

Wrong Fuel in Car Cowden - Petrol in Diesel Car Cowden

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was about. It had become quite quiet thus far, and me and Mark were loafing perusing a number of old newspapers. It was a rare quiet hour. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer stated: "I only just concluded my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in a diesel Cowden in error". We instructed him to inform us where the car was situated and we hit the road, ending up not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car and he said many thanks for coming so fast. As we were returning to base we spotted two girls at the side of the road who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

The driver of a Cowden was regretful that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel car when he got as far as the road and it spluttered and broke down. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel car," is what he informed us the very first time he phoned. To tell the truth, when he initially phoned us he said he would like to check around, but he called us back before long because our price and call-out times were the best. Of course, our engineer had him once again doing his deliveries within the time we had cited.

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 anywhere in Kent to 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.
