The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an old lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Toyota Sienna in Marshland St James. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a rural lane on route to see her family. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was working she told me, "Now I'm becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a couple of days ago because my old one, which I had owned for in excess of 30 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a delightful Norfolk 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.
