The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases fairly simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Stapleford

I am not actually too enthusiastic about carrying out work on weekends, and a while back was the same. I'd only just left home after having a wonderful lunch prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a guy after he put the incorrect petrol in his customised Volkswagen Beetle. He was somewhere in Stapleford so it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my concentration on other considerations and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some problems by driving it?" I said that generally there probably should not be any kind of problems and also that I would get the wrong fuel drained as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I drained the fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then yet another happy client could carry on with his trip without the hassle. The gentleman did not stop thanking me, and this is what can make carrying out work on weekends in Lincolnshire that little less painful to 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 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.
