The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly quickly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Elsham (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Lincolnshire Out of Fuel Service. We can come to re-fill the car if you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at cost) and fill up your car. They can also take care of any of the normal problems that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

What a quality night's sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Saturday and I was on my way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel grass green Volvo S70 in Elsham. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was broken down along a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel as I had only just purchased it a week ago because my former car, which I owned for in excess of twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the job completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Lincolnshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Elsham

Now I'm not overly interested in doing the job on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had only just departed the wife and kids following a superb lunch made by the wife, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman who filled the incorrect petrol in his winter grey Kia Soul. He was situated in Elsham so I was there soon. As I drove up right behind the car and started work he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any problems through driving it?" I determined truth be told there probably should not be damage and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then yet another contented customer could carry on with their journey without the need for hassle. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make working on Sundays in Lincolnshire a little less painful for me personally!

A customer from Elsham with a full car of little ones in her diesel bright yellow Volkswagen Beetle had put £50 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She phoned us weeping and very worried as she had never wrong fueled previously and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was still upset but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters on board."

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.
