The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LE6 Postcode - Ratby Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Sunday and we were on the way to assist an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel buff Vauxhall Signum in Ratby. I'd been advised she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural road on route to see her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I am getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel as I had only just purchased it a few days back because my other one, which I had owned for about 25 years, inevitably died on me". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a pleasant Leicestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ratby

Now I'm certainly not that inclined to carrying out work weekends, and a week ago was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after having a wonderful roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a man who had filled the wrong fuel in his dad's Mitsubishi Eclipse. He was only in Ratby thus it wouldn't be long before I reached him. As I pulled up at the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my concentration on other stuff and didn't realise I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought about any problems through driving it?" I explained truth be told there probably should not be any kind of harm and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately. As expected I removed the fuel from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and so another delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with his ride without any fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Leicestershire just a little bit less painful to me!

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It had been quite uneventful so far, and Brian and I were sitting about looking through a couple of old newspapers. That was an unusual calm moment in Leicestershire. Actually it was that calm that the instant my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I have only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the dark green Mercedes-Benz M-Class by mistake". I told him to inform us where the vehicle was located and we headed out, ending up in Ratby less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle. He said many thanks for getting there so quickly. As we were going back to the office we noticed two young women on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
