The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and felt satisfied the next working day as I was on the way to help a young couple on vacation in Upper Clapton. They had stopped after adding petrol in their dark green Jaguar XK Series, and the car was around half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so daft. "How could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs constantly in Lewisham and that it's nothing at all to be anxious about, but he all the same got an earful by his better half. Poor lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. As they drove off I mouthed good bye and wondered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Now I'm not ever so keen on doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids after a fantastic lunch prepared for us by the missus, and I was off to assist a gentleman who filled the incorrect fuel in his uncle's Peugeot 505. He was stationed in Upper Clapton thus it wasn't long before I reached him. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my attention on other stuff and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on problems through running it?" I explained that generally there shouldn't be damage and that also I'd personally remove the wrong fuel immediately. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and then another content client had the ability to continue on his trip without any difficulty. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make operating on Sundays in Lewisham just that little bit easier to me!

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.
