The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

I punched the location in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had only purchased it a short while ago after my other one, which I had for over 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost".

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and nobody was about. It had been pretty quiet so far, and me and Mark were loafing about looking at a number of old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet time in Harrow. It was that relaxing that the instant the phone rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have just ended my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the mate's Volkswagen GTI in error". I got him to inform us just where he was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Roxeth under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the motor and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back home we saw two young women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
