The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases fairly simply.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Birdforth

I'm certainly not very hot for doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just left home after a fantastic Sunday roast cooked by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow who had filled the wrong fuel in his rugged Cadillac XLR-V. He was only in Birdforth hence I arrived with him almost immediately. Just as I arrived at the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I brought about any kind of problems through starting it?" I said that truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained at once. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and then one more content client could continue on their ride without any difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this tends to make carrying out work on weekends in North Yorkshire a little less painful 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.
