The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to dawn and almost noone was about. It was fairly quiet thus far, and me and John were loafing about looking at a couple of old magazines. That was a rare calm moment in North Yorkshire. It was that quiet that when the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I just ended my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel navy blue Land Rover Freelander by mistake". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the car was and we set off, getting to him in West Lilling only half an hour later. The fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. While we were going back home we spotted two ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we stopped and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
