The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

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

Now I am certainly not very hot for carrying out work on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had just left the family following a magnificent roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was off to assist a fellow after he had filled the wrong petrol in his Ferarri red Hyundai. He was situated in Lofthouse therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and didn't ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any damage simply by driving it?" I explained generally there should not be any problems and that I'd drain the contaminated fuel at once. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some suitable fuel, and yet another satisfied motorist had the ability to carry on with their trip without any difficulty. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that can make working on weekends in North Yorkshire just that small bit easier in my opinion!

This was certainly the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was fairly dead up to now, and me and John were loafing perusing a few old newspapers. That was a rare calm moment in North Yorkshire. It was indeed that calm that the instant the phone finally rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end stated: "I just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel son's Mazda RX-7 by mistake". We got him to let us know where exactly he was and we left, reaching him in Lofthouse less than an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he said thanks a lot for coming out so fast. As we were going back home we saw two young women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we stopped 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.
