The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances quite easily.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to many privately owned and commercial premises in Lincolnshire to deal with removing and recycling fuel storages.

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was en route to help an old lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel matte black Peugeot in Scopwick. She told us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only acquired it a week back when my previous one, which I had owned for about twenty five years, finally died on me". I completed the drain and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. What a lovely Lincolnshire 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.
