The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases rather simply.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

We can come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home.

They will handle the standard problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

A woman had stopped on a street, Carlingcott just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was weeping and fairly distressed as she had put £55 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to cool her as well as we could, encouraging her that all would be ok. When we arrived with her she was not troubled any more and was really curious in observing our technician do the fuel drain on her friend's BMW X5 M.

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.
