The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I appreciated a wonderful evening fishing during my day off and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I headed out to aid a young couple holidaying in Sparrow Green. They had conked out after adding diesel into their friend's Vauxhall Corsa, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed while I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens on a regular basis in Norfolk and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would do to me if I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car Norfolk - Petrol in Diesel Car Sparrow Green

We fairly recently received a phone call about a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his expensive Vauxhall Vivaro in Sparrow Green. He had conked out on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the quandary till I ground to a halt. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it running again. I was impressed as a result of both how quick you were and your rates". As you can imagine we showed up promptly and flushed the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. The motorist was over the moon by the time we were done and he drove off completely satisfied.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been fairly quiet thus far, and me and Ray were relaxing browsing several old magazines. It was a rare calm moment in Norfolk. Actually it was in fact that calm that the instant my mobile eventually rang I jumped! The customer told me: "I have finished my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my diesel modern Land Rover Discovery by mistake". I told him to inform us just where he was and we headed out, ending up in Sparrow Green half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine and he said thank you for arriving so rapidly. While we were coming back to the depot we found two women on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, 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.
