The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

I appreciated a perfect evening fishing during my holiday and was feeling pleased the following day as I was en route to help a new couple who were holidaying in Carhampton. They broken down after filling petrol in their winter grey Kia Sephia, and were close to an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this happens everyday in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyhow, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed good-bye and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never live it down!

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30am and nobody was stirring. It was quite dead thus far, and me and Mark were sitting about looking through several old magazines. That was an uncommon calm time in Somerset. It was so quiet that when the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The customer stated: "I've completed my night shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel son's Bentley Continental by mistake". I asked him to inform us exactly where he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Carhampton less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for arriving so promptly. As we were going back home we found two young ladies on the side of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. So we pulled up 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 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.
