The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an old lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel father's Cadillac XLR in Barnoldswick. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural road on the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I had just purchased it a couple of days ago because my previous one, which I had owned for over twenty five years, inevitably stopped working". I finished the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Lancashire 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 VA 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.
