Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Saturday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel elegant Peugeot 107 in Far Cotton. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a rural road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am becoming fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd just got it a week ago because my previous one, which I used for more than 25 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Northamptonshire lady!

Now I'm not ever so enthusiastic about working on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had just come away from home filled with a fantastic Sunday roast made for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a gentleman after he had put the incorrect petrol in his beloved Porsche Carrera GT. He was only in Far Cotton therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other stuff and failed to realise I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I caused some harm by simply driving it?" I stated there should not be damage and that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained right away. As expected I removed the fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus one more satisfied customer had the ability to continue their ride without the need for difficulty. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Northamptonshire just that little bit less painful for me personally!

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 VAT 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.
