Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations quite quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was roughly sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It was quite quiet up to now, and Paul and I were loafing looking through a number of old newspapers. It was an unusual peaceful time in Oxfordshire. It was indeed so calm that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The motorist said: "I've only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my diesel partner's Smart Forfour". I told him to tell us where exactly the car was located and we set off, arriving in Charlton-on-Otmoor not as much as an hour later. The fuel was removed from the vehicle and he said thanks for showing up so fast. While we were returning to base we spotted two women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture.

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.
