Contamination with AdBlue or Water

You should also pay attention to the fact that incorrect fuel is not the only problem which makes the engine run in an abnormal way, but at times the presence of water in the fuel can also make your vehicle produce a lot of smoke, stop, lack power, or run irregularly. But water can do a lot of damage which is irreparable, such as damaging the fuel filter which doesn't necessarily happen in the event of wrong fuel.

The same set of symptoms may also be caused by somebody attempting to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. This can be done so through adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is an issue of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you.

Wrong Fuel in Car Keycol - Petrol in Diesel Car Keycol

Now I am not very interested in working Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just come away from the wife and kids following a tasty lunch prepared for me by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a man who had put the incorrect petrol in his Keycol. He was somewhere nearby thus I arrived there quickly. Just as I arrived right behind the car and started work he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and failed to ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I caused any problems simply by driving it?" I revealed that generally there should not be damage and that also I would personally drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and thus yet another contented customer could continue their ride without any bother. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make carrying out work on Sundays just a little bit less painful for me!

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Sunday and I was on my way to help an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel Keycol. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had only just got it several days back after my previous one, which I had owned for over 25 years, finally died on me". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant woman!

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.

Usual Petrol in Diesel Symptoms:

A woman driving nearby called us after she tried to get her wrong fueled automobile to her office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Keycol and, like many people prior to her, assumed that she would be able to basically fill her vehicle with diesel and it'd be fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted inside 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us stating, "I'm really glad you sorted my car."
