The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel may well result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

I enjoyed a great afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set out to help a new family vacationing in Yarnton. They'd stopped after adding diesel into their bright red Kia Rio5, and the car was about an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this problem takes place quite frequently in Oxfordshire and that it's in reality nothing to fret about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would 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 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.
