The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Finsbury - Wrong Fuel in Car Finsbury

I had a terrific day golfing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set off to aid a young couple vacationing in Finsbury. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their cream Jaguar, and were close to an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the wife telling her husband off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place on a regular basis in Lambeth and that it is nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he yet still had an earful by his better half. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

Now I am certainly not overly hot for doing work weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids filled with a fantastic dinner prepared for us by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his mate's Audi RS4. He was somewhere in Finsbury hence I arrived on scene very quickly. As I pulled up behind the car and got out he told me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on other stuff and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted any problems as a result of driving it?" I said truth be told there should not be damage and also that I would personally remove the fuel immediately for him. It goes without saying that I drained the fuel from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and one more contented motorist was able to continue their traveling without the fuss.

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.
