The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BA11 Postcode - Buckland Down Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were on my way to help an elder woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Vauxhall Corsa in Buckland Down. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel because I had just got it several days back because my former car, which I had for in excess of thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Somerset woman!

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.
