The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases fairly easily.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been pretty dead thus far, and Brian and I were loafing around looking through several old papers. This was an unusual calm moment in Oxfordshire. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that the instant the phone rang I jumped! The motorist told me: "I have just finished my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my dark green VW GLI by mistake". I told him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we hit the road, reaching him in Sutton Wick less than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the car and he said thanks for coming so quickly. While we were heading back home we saw two girls at the side of the road who looked like they had a puncture. So we stopped to change it, 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 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.
