The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will often trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases quite easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in UB10 Postcode - Ickenham Misfueling

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Wednesday and I was en route to help an old woman after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel apricot Peugeot Expert in Ickenham. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location punched in the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was working she told me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I had only bought it a week back when my other one, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Hillingdon 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.
