The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Grindon - Wrong Fuel in Car Grindon

I had enjoyed a terrific evening golfing on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to assist a young family who were vacationing in Grindon. They had conked out after adding petrol into their beloved Volvo S90, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I heard to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens regularly in Northumberland and that it is nothing at all to stress about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent. Poor lad. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
