The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases rather easily.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Hounslow

Now I'm not so interested in working on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids after eating a wonderful Sunday roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was off to deal with a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his metallic grey Hyundai Scoupe. He was located in Hounslow and so it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the car and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and didn't grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol car. Is it likely I caused any kind of harm because of driving it?" I determined there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and thus yet another contented client had the ability to continue on his trip without any hassle. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Hounslow just a little bit less painful to me!

A customer from Hounslow with her youngsters in her diesel buff Seat Ibiza had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Tesco service station. She phoned us crying and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything would be alright and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she noticed 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 the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

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.
