The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and we were en route to assist an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Mitsubishi L300 in Crayford. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater road along the way to see her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a week back after my former one, which I used for over thirty years, finally broke down". I got the job done and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a precious Bexley woman!

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.
