The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Knaptoft

Now I am not overly excited about running on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had only just left home following a superb lunch made for us by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a man who had put the wrong fuel in his racing green Daewoo Lanos. He was stationed in Knaptoft thus it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my concentration on something else and did not perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some harm through starting it?" I stated truth be told there should not be any damage and also that I'd personally drain the wrong fuel at once. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus another happy motorist had the ability to carry on with his traveling without any fuss. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Leicestershire that little bit less painful for me!

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.
