The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was on the way to assist an elder sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel modified Ford Transit in Lewth. I had been told she had left the petrol station and pulled up in a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had just purchased it a short while ago after my old car, which I'd owned for over 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Lancashire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Lewth

Now I'm not ever overly hot for carrying out work on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids filled with a wonderful dinner made by the wife, and I was en route to help a fellow who had put the incorrect petrol in his maroon Mitsubishi Chariot. He was only in Lewth thus it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my attention on other things and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted some harm by simply driving it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be harm and also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible for him. It goes without saying that I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and then another content customer had the ability to continue on his journey without the need for fuss. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this makes carrying out work on weekends in Lancashire just that little bit better in my opinion!

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.
